SC - 1350 | Genes and Behaviour: Beyond Nature-Nurture

David J. Hosken, John Hunt, Nina Wedell

"Nature versus nurture" is a debate that refuses to die. This is perhaps due to the perceived political ramifications of the debate, but our understanding of the genetic basis of many behaviours has expanded markedly in the last 10 years, and there is now very good evidence that many seemingly complex behaviours can have relatively simple genetic underpinnings. We also know that behaviours, and other traits, are influenced not just by genes and the environment, but also by the statistical interaction between the two.

SC - 1325 | Playing Smart: On Games, Intelligence, and Artificial Intelligence

Julian Togelius

A new vision of the future of games and game design, enabled by AI.Can games measure intelligence? How will artificial intelligence inform games of the future? In Playing Smart, Julian Togelius explores the connections between games and intelligence to offer a new vision of future games and game design. Video games already depend on AI. We use games to test AI algorithms, challenge our thinking, and better understand both natural and artificial intelligence. In the future, Togelius argues, game designers will be able to create smarter games that make us smarter in turn, applying advanced AI to help design games. In this book, he tells us how.

Phytoplasma-associated diseases are a major limiting factor in the context of the quality and productivity of many ornamental, horticultural and other economically important agricultural crops worldwide. Annual losses due to phytoplasma diseases vary, but under pathogen-favorable conditions they have disastrous consequences for the farming community. As there is no effective cure for these diseases, the management options focus on their exclusion, minimizing their spread by insect vectors and propagation materials and on the development of host plant resistance.
