	The Red Queen
		Go to page: Discovery of the Tomb of the Red Queen: One of the goals in carrying out archaeological work on Temple XIII was to get to know its construction sequence and the way it was built on the skirt of the hill that it abuts.
		The importance of the discovery of the Red Queen's tomb resides mainly in that it affords another example of a sarcophagus inside a mortuary chamber within an architectural complex.
		In the case of the Temple of the Inscriptions, the crypt and the sarcophagus present a unique decorative wealth on the mortuary chamber's walls and on the four sides of the sarcophagus proper, not forgetting, of course, the elements that form the complex imagery of the sarcophagus lid.

	Ridley (Matt) The Red Queen Summary
		The Red Queen hypothesis: species do not get any better at surviving, their chances of extinction are random.
		Red Queen is only a part of the explanation for why we are sexual.
		However, red carotenoid pigments in male facial sexual appendages are indications of low parasitism.

	Red Queen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Red Queen's Hypothesis, Red Queen, "Red Queen's race" or "Red Queen Effect" is an evolutionary hypothesis to explain two different phenomena: the advantage of sex at the level of individuals, and the constant evolutionary arms race between competing species.
		The Red Queen's Hypothesis as formulated by Van Valen provides a conceptual underpinning to discussions of biological evolutionary arms races, even though a direct test of the hypothesis remains elusive, particularly at the macroevolutionary level.
		The connection of the Red Queen to this debate arises from the fact that the traditionally accepted theory (The Vicar of Bray) only showed adaptive benefit at the level of the species or group, not at the level of the gene.

	The red -haired Queen - Folklore
		Natural redheads are a rare breed, perhaps 5% of the global population, and historically have always been treated with prejudice and suspicion, or with amazement and awe.
		Fiery tresses are widely supposed to be a 'Celtic gene' as all red heads are MC1R variants that derive from European populations and the prevalence of these alleles is highest in Celtic countries.But none of this tells us anything of the superstitions, or why we believe that redheads are fiery and hot-tempered.

	House of World Cultures \| China - Between Past and Future \| Fantasy of the Red Queen
		In cooperation with the Ensemble Modern, the HKW is premièring the commissioned opera Fantasy of the Red Queen by Liu Sola.
		This opera, however, does not tell the story of the “Red Queen” herself – that is, of Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong’s fourth wife – but of a woman whose dream of power makes her identify so closely with Jiang Qing that she believes that she really is Jiang Qing.
		The only fields of colour are the costumes of the Red Queen from her glorious period; some of them hang here and there; and some are worn by her during the course of the opera.

	On Sex, Parasites, and the Red Queen
		Results suggest that the Red Queen hypothesis is not valid for more realistic evolutionary scenarios and that each of the two hypotheses tested seem to explain partially but not exhaustively the adaptive value of sex.
		The Red Queen hypothesis states that sex is an adaptation to escape from parasites.
		The Red Queen effect was simulated in the sense that hosts could not evolve an optimal genotype that conferred them resistance to parasites.

		Red Queen itself is around 3 megabytes in size, but the amount of MySQL storage space you will need to accommodate your initial data and any future reviews will naturally depend upon the scope of your project.
		Because Red Queen is a fairly complex application you should read the parts of the manual that relate to setting up categories, adding items, attaching reviews, and so on, before you start editing any templates.
		When the Red Queen installer is run, the script will compare the identity of the webserver with that of the owner of the script itself.

	Evolution: Library: The Red Queen
		Invoking the Red Queen hypothesis, Vrijenhoek suggests the sexual populations are able to keep up or adapt to new selective challenges, while the asexual populations, essentially clonal, are not.
		One explanation is the increasingly popular Red Queen hypothesis, referring to the huffy chess piece in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass.
		In Looking Glass Land, the Queen tells Alice, "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." According to the Red Queen hypothesis, sexual reproduction persists because it enables many species to rapidly evolve new genetic defenses against parasites that attempt to live off them.

	Red Queen Theory
		In Lewis Carroll's classic Through the Looking-Glass, the Red Queen, a living chess piece that Alice meets, has to run in place as quickly as she can to simply stay in the same place.
		This character's race is used as a metaphor in the Red Queen Theory (also called the Red Queen's Race or Red Queen Effect, or simply Red Queen) to explain the advantage of sex and the constant race between competing species.
		The main flaw in the Red Queen Theory is that when a species reproduces sexually, half the species does not bear offspring directly and often does not contribute to the survival of the young.

		In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass there is an incident involving the Red Queen, a representation of a Queen in chess, and Alice constantly running but remaining in the same spot.
		The scene is often referred to as The Red Queen's Race.
		The red king can not capture the white pawn or move one square forward since either would put the king in "check" (subject to capture by the opposing king or pawn).

		One of my many cousins came to visit us when I was five years old, and she had a skirt of red silk with patterned edgings, lined with a plain red silk of a slightly darker shade.
		I was presented with a long formal dress jacket of an opaque leaf-green brocade, and a blouse in buttercup-yellow silk with a grape pattern, and another blouse of a rich pale foxglove silk.
		The red silk skirt was not a gift from the palace, although it was included in the fine royal display of gifts.

		The first part of the book is narrated by the Red Queen herself, a Korean woman married to the Crown Prince as a child and forced to navigate a series of political and familial struggles which ultimately lead to the Prince's insanity and death.
		Babs reads the Red Queen's memoirs on the flight to a conference in Korea, and the sprit of the Red Queen haunts her throughout the trip.
		THE RED QUEEN was a bit of a slow start for me (chalk it up to a few too many beach books over the summer), but I was soon ensnared by the haunting plot of this ambitious and unusual ghost story.

		She had not been walking a minute before she found herself face to face with the Red Queen, and full in sight of the hill she had been so long aiming at.
		Alice curtseyed again, as she was afraid from the Queen's tone that she was a little offended: and they walked on in silence till they got to the top of the hill.

		The Red Queen's race is an incident that appears in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and involves the Red Queen, a representation of a Queen in chess, and Alice constantly running but remaining in the same spot.
		Isaac Asimov used it in his short story "The Red Queen's Race" to illustrate the concept of predestination paradox.
		In evolutionary biology, to illustrate that sexual reproduction and the resulting genetic recombination may be just enough to allow individuals of a certain species to adapt to changes in the ecological niche they occupy - see Red Queen.

	Through the Looking Glass -- Chapter IX: Queen Alice
		Everything was happening so oddly that she didn't feel a bit surprised at finding the Red Queen and the White Queen sitting close to her, one on each side: she would have liked very much to ask them how they came there, but she feared it would not be quite civil.
		She spoke to the Red Queen, whose answer was a little wide of the mark.
		At this moment she heard a hoarse laugh at her side, and turned to see what was the matter with the White Queen; but, instead of the Queen, there was the leg of mutton sitting in the chair.

		The Red Queen continued, “If you want to get somewhere else you must run at least twice as fast as that!” So, too, must we run our endless race against the pathogens and pests with whom we share this planet.
		These bacterial sprinters in the Red Queen’s Race kill thousands of patients yearly as complications after surgery, other illnesses, and so on that result directly from a hospital stay: In 1992, for example, 13,300 people died from bacterial infections in the United States alone.

		Called the "Red Queen Theory" by biologists after the chess piece in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass which runs but stays in the same place, this hypothesis is just one of the controversial ideas put forth in this witty, elegantly written inquiry.
		Using Lewis Carroll's Red Queen (who runs as fast as she can to stay in the same place) as a metaphor for evolution, Ridley shows how sex was the result of an evolutionary arms race between hosts and their disease-causing parasites.
		The first three or four chapters of "The Red Queen" may be a little onerous, but apparently they are necessary to support the last ones.

		The Queen is forced to run continually but never moves because everything else in the landscape is also running and so keeps pace with her.
		Ridley argues the main race is not between animals and there predators (eg rabbits and foxes) but between species and their parasites particularly bacteria and virus diseases.
