Scientists’ use of diagrams in developing mechanistic explanations
We explore the crucial role of diagrams in scientific reasoning, especially reasoning directed at developing mechanistic explanations of biological phenomena. We offer a case study focusing on one research project that resulted in a published paper advancing a new understanding of the mechanism by which the central circadian oscillator in Synechococcus elongatus controls gene expression. By examining how the diagrams prepared for the paper develo…
Why Do Biologists Use So Many Diagrams
Diagrams have distinctive characteristics that make them an effective medium for communicating research findings, but they are even more impressive as tools for scientific reasoning. To explore this role, we examine diagrammatic formats that have been devised by biologists to ( a ) identify and illuminate phenomena involving circadian rhythms and ( b ) develop and modify mechanistic explanations of these phenomena
Dynamic mechanistic explanation
Explanation
Beyond the exclusively propositional era
Bridging boundaries versus breaking boundaries
