Evolution of Biological Complexity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 In order to make a case for or against a trend in the evolution of complexity in biological evolution, complexity needs to be both rigorously defined and measurable.

Quasi-Equilibrium States and Phase Transitions in Biological Evolution [PDF]
EntropyWe developed a macroscopic description of the evolutionary dynamics by following the temporal dynamics of the total Shannon entropy of sequences, denoted by S, and the average Hamming distance between them, denoted by H. We argue that a biological system

Origins and evolution of biological novelty
Biological Reviews, 2022 ABSTRACTUnderstanding the origins and impacts of novel traits has been a perennial interest in many realms of ecology and evolutionary biology. Here, we build on previous evolutionary and philosophical treatments of this subject to encompass novelties across biological scales and eco‐evolutionary perspectives.

The prebiotic emergence of biological evolution. [PDF]
R Soc Open SciThe origin of life must have been preceded by Darwin-like evolutionary dynamics that could propagate it. How did that adaptive dynamics arise? And from what prebiotic molecules? Using evolutionary invasion analysis, we develop a universal framework for describing any origin story for evolutionary dynamics.

The Universal Grammar of Evolution [PDF]
Философия и космология, 2022 The evolution (sensu lato) of the cosmos can be divided in three phases: cosmological evolution (sensu stricto), biological evolution and cultural evolution. Analogies between biological and cultural evolution date from the nineteenth century although it

Algorithmically probable mutations reproduce aspects of evolution, such as convergence rate, genetic memory and modularity [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Natural selection explains how life has evolved over millions of years from more primitive forms. The speed at which this happens, however, has sometimes defied formal explanations when based on random (uniformly distributed) mutations.

Study of Modern Human Evolution via Comparative Analysis with the Neanderthal Genome [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2013 Many other human species appeared in evolution in the last 6 million years that have not been able to survive to modern times and are broadly known as archaic humans, as opposed to the extant modern humans.

Bacterial N4-methylcytosine as an epigenetic mark in eukaryotic DNA
Nature Communications, 2022 Eukaryotic DNA can be methylated as 5-methylcytosine and N6-methyladenine, but whether other forms of DNA methylation occur has been controversial. Here the authors show that a bacterial DNA methyltransferase was acquired >60 Mya in bdelloid rotifers ...
