Rank Statistics in Biological Evolution

, 2005
We present a statistical analysis of biological evolution processes. Specifically, we study the stochastic replication-mutation-death model where the population of a species may grow or shrink by birth or death, respectively, and additionally, mutations ...

The phenomenon of biological evolution: 19th century misconception [PDF]

, 2009
Scientists still think that biological evolution is driven by the process named natural selection. Perhaps this 19th century notion was indeed a revolutionary idea at the time when it has been introduced.

Towards physical principles of biological evolution

, 2018
Biological systems reach organizational complexity that far exceeds the complexity of any known inanimate objects. Biological entities undoubtedly obey the laws of quantum physics and statistical mechanics.

Age structure landscapes emerge from the equilibrium between aging and rejuvenation in bacterial populations

Nature Communications, 2018
Some daughter cells inherit the maternal old pole during bacterial division, but does this correspond to aging? Here, Proenca et al. show that constant patterns of aging and rejuvenation connect distinct growth equilibria within bacterial clonal ...

Nonlinear deterministic equations in biological evolution

, 2011
We review models of biological evolution in which the population frequency changes deterministically with time. If the population is self-replicating, although the equations for simple prototypes can be linearised, nonlinear equations arise in many ...

Directed information panspermia as a possible method of interstellar communication

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The problem of transmitting an interstellar message from one communicative civilization to another is examined, taking into account possible scenarios for the prevalence of civilizations in the Galaxy, including the possibility that Earth’s civilization ...

Alone in the world? Indeed, and liberatingly so

Verbum et Ecclesia, 2021
How do we know that we can trust our viewpoints, our dogmatic principles and our religious convictions to constitute veracity, if not truth? Where can an arbiter be found for our deliberations to establish the trustworthiness of our viewpoints or belief ...

A Symbiotic View Of Life: We Have Never Been Individuals [PDF]

, 2012
The notion of the biological individual is crucial to studies of genetics, immunology, evolution, development, anatomy, and physiology. Each of these biological subdisciplines has a specific conception of individuality, which has historically provided ...

Self-organized Critical Model Of Biological Evolution

, 1994
A punctuated equilibrium model of biological evolution with relative fitness between different species being the fundamental driving force of evolution is introduced.

Phase Transition in Sexual Reproduction and Biological Evolution

, 2008
Using Monte Carlo model of biological evolution we have discovered that populations can switch between two different strategies of their genomes' evolution; Darwinian purifying selection and complementing the haplotypes. The first one is exploited in the
