Adaptive Inflationary Differential Evolution [PDF]

2014 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2014
In this paper, an adaptive version of Inflationary Differential Evolution is presented and tested on a set of real case problems taken from the CEC2011 competition on realworld applications. Inflationary Differential Evolution extends standard Differential Evolution with both local and global restart procedures. The proposed adaptive algorithm utilizes

Niche Occupation Limits Adaptive Radiation in Experimental Microcosms [PDF]

, 2007
Adaptive radiations have played a key role in the evolution of biological diversity. The breadth of adaptive radiation in an invading lineage is likely to be influenced by the availability of ecological niches, which will be determined to some extent by ...

Cooperative Evolution [PDF]

, 2021
Cooperative Evolution offers a fresh account of evolution consistent with Charles Darwin's own account of a cooperative, inter-connected, buzzing and ever-changing world.

The Role of Mutation Bias in Adaptive Evolution

, 2019
Mutational input is the ultimate source of genetic variation, but mutations are not thought to affect the direction of adaptive evolution. Recently, critics of standard evolutionary theory have questioned the random and non-directional nature of ...

The evolutionary dynamics of adaptive virginity, sex-allocation and altruistic helping in haplodiploid animals [PDF]

, 2017
In haplodiploids, females can produce sons from unfertilized eggs without mating. However, virgin reproduction is usually considered to be a result of a failure to mate, rather than an adaptation.

Development and selective grain make plasticity 'take the lead' in adaptive evolution

, 2021
Background: Biological evolution exhibits an extraordinary capability to adapt organisms to their environments. The explanation for this often takes for granted that random genetic variation produces at least some beneficial phenotypic variation in which

Predicting adaptive evolution [PDF]

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2001
Phylogenetic trees reconstruct past evolution and can provide evidence of past evolutionary pressure on genes and on individual codons. In addition to tracing past evolutionary events, molecular phylogenetics might also be used to predict future evolution.

Cloning and expression analysis of HXK1 gene from Jatropha curcas L.

Oil Crop Science, 2020
HXK (Hexokinase) gene family and the role of JcHXK1 in Jatropha curcas L. were explored. Totally 4 HXK genes JcHXK1, JcHXK2, JcHXK3 and JcHKL1 were identified and complete ORF of JcHXK1 was cloned.

Ecological causes of morphological evolution in the three-spined stickleback

, 2013
The central assumption of evolutionary theory is that natural selection drives the adaptation of populations to local environmental conditions, resulting in the evolution of adaptive phenotypes.

The evolution and population diversity of human-specific segmental duplications [PDF]

, 2017
Segmental duplications contribute to human evolution, adaptation and genomic instability but are often poorly characterized. We investigate the evolution, genetic variation and coding potential of human-specific segmental duplications (HSDs). We identify
