Controversy with Weasel Words As quorum sensing implies a cooperative behavior, this concept has been challenged by the evolutionary implication of cooperative cheaters. This is circumvented by the concept of diffusion sensing, which has been an alternative and complementary model to quorum sensing. However, both explanations face the problems of signalling in either complex (multiple species sharing the same space) or simple (one single cell confined to a limited volume) environments where the spatial distribution of the cells can be more important for sensing than the cell population density. A new model, efficiency sensing, which takes into account both problematics, population density and spatial confinement, has been proposed as an alternative.[22] One of the probable reasons for controversy is that current terminologies (quorum sensing, diffusion sensing, efficiency sensing) all imply an understanding of the motives and benefits of the process, and may be observed to apply under some circumstances but not others. Perhaps a sensible resolution to these controversies could be to return the terminology of the process to autoinduction, as originally described by Hastings and coworkers, as this term does not imply understanding of the intent(s) or benefit(s) of the process. Real Science Quorum sensing is a system of stimulus and response correlated to population density. Many species of bacteria use quorum sensing to coordinate gene expression according to the density of …

I find it disheartening that someone like you once had access to children.
If you can’t get the facts straight, and you don’t know the terms, then you really shouldn’t be running your geriatric mouth.
Your first clue that speciation IS evolution should have been Darwins book, which is TITLED “Origin of SPECIES”.
YOu religious nutbags lack the ability to think critically…
“Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise.”
Looks like you don’t know what you’re talking about, old man.
Speciation IS evolution.
MACROevolution, to be specific (no pun intended).
Have your religious opinions replaced BIOLOGY on every University on Earth.
Nah.
Who cares abut your creationist prize?
Speciation is NOT evolution.
If you have any science–win the lIfe Science Prize. I don’t have time for Internet hot air contests.
Insects prove speciation.
If you are going to cut and paste off wikipedia, at least state where the passage came from. If this was done in an academic setting, you would be guilty of plagiarism.
Insects evolve!
I find it quite amazing that it is people who have never studied science who are the only ones saying something as blatantly false.
Pick up a National Geographic sometime.
Uh… humans and chimps are animals. They wage war, make tools, keep the tools for later use, and teach their young how to use them.
Sponges and corals are intelligent? In what way? Intelligence is SELDOM of any positive value. Amoeba dubium has 690 million base pairs in their DNA. Humans have 2.9 billion.
Advance? To what? All species alive today are at EXACTLY the same “level”.
Species that live in your gut and have nothing but genitals and digestion are just as successful as we are
