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.

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 ...

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.

Linguistic Change and Biological Evolution

, 2020
Early conceptualizations of evolution, e.g. by Charles Darwin, saw similarities in the evolution of languages and of biological species. This similarity has been disputed at times, but in recent decades linguists have again started looking at how biology studies evolution.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...
