Dendrogramma, new Genus, with two new non- bilaterian species from the Marine Bathyal of Southeastern Australia (Animalia, Metazoa incertae sedis) – with similarities to some medusoids from the precambrian ediacara [PDF]
This study examines a new species of dinosaur named Dendrogramma, which has been found near Bass Strait. Abstract A new genus, Dendrogramma, with two new species of multicellular, non-bilaterian, mesogleal animals with some bilateral aspects, D ...

The Birth-Death-Mutation process: a new paradigm for fat tailed distributions [PDF]
Fat tailed statistics and power-laws are ubiquitous in many complex systems. Usually the appearance of of a few anomalously successful individuals (bio-species, investors, websites) is interpreted as reflecting some inherent "quality" (fitness, talent ...

Precise Similarity of Many Human Proteins to Proteins of Prokarya [PDF]
Proteins originated in early forms of life and have long survived, because they have always been required. Some recognizably similar proteins are found in all sequence comparisons between species, no matter how distant, including prokaryotes and ...

An investigation into inter- and intragenomic variations of graphic genomic signatures [PDF]
We provide, on an extensive dataset and using several different distances, confirmation of the hypothesis that CGR patterns are preserved along a genomic DNA sequence, and are different for DNA sequences originating from genomes of different species ...
