Ancient and Current Chaos Theories [PDF]

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2006
Chaos theories developed in the last three decades have made very important contributions to our understanding of dynamical systems and natural phenomena. The meaning of chaos in the current theories and in the past is somewhat different from each other.

Correlates of early reproduction and apparent fitness consequences in male Soay sheep

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Life history trade‐offs are ubiquitous across species and place constraints on the timing of life history events, including the optimal age at first reproduction.

Does Meaning Evolove? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A common method of improving how well understood a theory is, is by comparing it to another theory which has been better developed. Radical interpretation is a theory which attempts to explain how communication has meaning.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Monogamy removes constraints on reproductive tissue investment imposed by intense sexual selection

open access: yesScientific Reports
A key factor influencing the reproductive success and fitness of an individual is the allocation of resources to reproductive tissue. Previous research has documented positive influences of sexual selection on the evolution of male traits such as testes ...

The Target Selects the Toxin: Specific Amino Acids in Snake-Prey Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors That Are Selectively Bound by King Cobra Venoms

open access: yesToxins, 2022
Snake venom is an adaptive ecological trait that has evolved primarily as a form of prey subjugation. Thus, the selection pressure for toxin diversification is exerted by the prey’s physiological targets, with this pressure being particularly acute for ...

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Cultural replication and microbial evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The aim of this paper is to argue that cultural evolution is in many ways much more similar to microbial than to macrobial biological evolution.

Sole-Manrubia model of biological evolution: some new insights

open access: yes, 2002
The Sole-Manrubia model of ``macro''-evolution describes the origination, evolution and extinction of species on geological time scales. We report some properties of this model which provide deep insight into this simple model which captures several ...
