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 of biological complexity

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
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. A recent information-theoretic (but intuitively evident) definition identifies genomic complexity with the amount of information a sequence stores about its environment.

What is a hologenomic adaptation? Emergent individuality and inter-identity in multispecies systems [PDF]

, 2020
Contemporary biological research has suggested that some host–microbiome multispecies systems (referred to as “holobionts”) can in certain circumstances evolve as unique biological individual, thus being a unit of selection in evolution.

Studies on Biological Development of Hybrid Bees Families

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
It has made a study concerning the biological development of hybrid bee’s families (Italian x Carpathian) comparative with Carpathian bee’s families. The bees were housed in multi-storey hives.

How many generations does it take for phytophages to colonize invasive plants? Mathematical modeling predictions [PDF]

Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень
Native phytophagous insects are often not adapted to novel chemistry of invasive plants, but over time they begin to adapt and feed on them. We simulated the spread of a mutant allele that enables phytophages to feed on invasive plant as efectively as on

Corncob structures in dental plaque reveal microhabitat taxon specificity

Microbiome, 2022
Background The human mouth is a natural laboratory for studying how bacterial communities differ across habitats. Different bacteria colonize different surfaces in the mouth—teeth, tongue dorsum, and keratinized and non-keratinized epithelia—despite the ...

Laughter, bonding and biological evolution

The European Journal of Humour Research, 2022
This paper combines perspectives from evolutionary biology and linguistics to discuss the early evolution of laughter and the possible role of laughter-like vocalisation as a bonding mechanism in hominins and early human species.

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 ...

Contrasting life histories contribute to divergent patterns of genetic diversity and population connectivity in freshwater sculpin fishes

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Life history characteristics are considered important factors influencing the evolutionary processes of natural populations, including the patterns of population genetic structure of a species.

Cosmic Perspectives and the Myths We Need to Survive

Journal of Big History, 2019
Big history can be defined as the attempt to understand the integrated history of the cosmos, Earth, life and humanity. Cosmic perspectives and biological evolution are the main scientific ingredients that can convert and broaden history into big history.
