Non-adaptive traits Some traits do not appear to be adaptive, that is, they appear to have a neutral or even deleterious effect on fitness in the current environment. Because genes have pleiotropic effects, not all traits may be functional (i.e. spandrels). Alternatively, a trait may have been adaptive at some point in an organism’s evolutionary [...]

After death the remains of an organism become part of the biogeochemical cycle. Animals may be consumed by a predator or a scavenger. Organic material may then be further decomposed by detritivores, organisms which recycle detritus, returning it to the environment for reuse in the food chain. Examples of detritivores include earthworms, woodlice and dung [...]

Symbiosis The term symbiosis can be used to describe various degrees of close relationship between organisms of different species. Sometimes it is used only for cases where both organisms benefit, sometimes it is used more generally to describe all varieties of relatively tight relationships, i.e. even parasitism, but not predation. Some even go so far [...]

The two main mechanisms that produce evolution are natural selection and genetic drift. Natural selection is the process which favors genes that aid survival and reproduction. Genetic drift is the random change in the frequency of alleles, caused by the random sampling of a generation’s genes during reproduction. The relative importance of natural selection and [...]

The science of feeling better In 2008, Swedish Covenant Hospital transformed its image and tagline from “Technology Changes, Compassion Does Not” to “The science of feeling better.” Swedish Covenant Hospital describes this tagline as a new kind of science composed of the elements of healing: technology, research, food, light, nature, art, touch and family.

Science and Technology blocks were added in about 1970. These have since been expanded. A fourth block, housing music, drama, dance and English classrooms was built in 1990, at the same time as three Modern Languages classrooms, two mobile classrooms (mostly for teaching English) and two Art rooms were added. These expansions took place to [...]
