Isolation (illusion) important developments was the combination of crystal ball isolations and body-popping/locking/waving dance styles, as seen in the styles of, amongst others, Nik Robson and Matt Hennem in the '90s. Isolation (illusion) In contact juggling, poi spinning, hooping and other types of object manipulation, an isolation is an illusion whereby a prop appears to float in space, with the performer's hands and body moving around it. In reality the performer is supporting the prop, and countering his or her movement relative to the prop. Michael Moschen is originally credited for developing several of the techniques for ball isolations (as well as
Isolation by distance Isolation by distance Isolation by distance (IBD) (note: the acronym IBD is also used for another important concept in population genetics, Identity by descent) is a term used to refer to the accrual of local genetic variation under geographically limited dispersal The IBD model is useful for determining the distribution of gene frequencies over a geographic region. Both dispersal variance and migration probabilities are variables in this model and both contribute to local genetic differentiation. Isolation by distance is usually the simplest model for the cause of genetic isolation between populations. Evolutionary biologists and population geneticists have been exploring varying
