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.

The Compatibility of Evolution and Thomistic Metaphysics: A Reply to Dennis F. Polis [PDF]
Studia Gilsoniana, 2021 In this article the author discusses Dennis F. Polis’ defense of the compatibility of biological evolution and Thomistic metaphysics. Some of Polis’ methodological and metaphysical arguments are examined and it is explained why they are unfaithful to the

Evolution and biological control [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2012 Opinions about the value of biological control are often extreme. Colloquially, biological control most often refers to classical biological control, in which one species is introduced from another region to control pests such as arthropod herbivores in agricultural systems, or weeds in managed and natural systems.1 As such, biological control has the ...

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 ...

Spatial organization of the kelp microbiome at micron scales
Microbiome, 2022 Background Elucidating the spatial structure of host-associated microbial communities is essential for understanding taxon-taxon interactions within the microbiota and between microbiota and host. Macroalgae are colonized by complex microbial communities,

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.

Evolution of Biologics Screening Technologies [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2013 Screening for biologics, in particular antibody drugs, has evolved significantly over the last 20 years. Initially, the screening processes and technologies from many years experience with small molecules were adopted and modified to suit the needs of biologics discovery.
