Current debate concerning homology arises from three different research interests-phylogenetics, character evolution, and generative pathways. Phylogenetic homology focuses on descent of the character from a common ancestor. Biological homology addresses character evolution and diversification. Exce

Current models of biological communication point at evolutionary mechanisms of particular signal types. Those that present complete models look at the signals' equilibrium values and their evolutionary stability, and require two simultaneous equations: an equation that describes the signaler's fitne
One of the challenges faced by the visual system is integrating cues within and across processing streams for inferring scene properties and structure. This is particularly apparent in the inference of object motion, where psychophysical experiments have shown that integration of motion signals, dis
## Abstract Homology is the similarity between organisms due to common ancestry. Introduced by Richard Owen in 1843 in a paper entitled βLectures on comparative anatomy and physiology of the invertebrate animalsβ, the concept of homology predates Darwin's βOrigin of Speciesβ and has been very influ
