Coevolution and Maladaptation [PDF]
Many of the most commonly cited examples of exquisite adaptation are of coevolved symbioses. As we learn more about the coevolutionary process, however, it is becoming increasingly evident that coevolution may also keep populations moderately maladapted much of the time. As a result, coevolving populations may only rarely occupy adaptive peaks, because

We introduce fitnessless coevolution (FC), a novel method of comparative one-population coevolution. FC plays games between individuals to settle tournaments in the selection phase and skips the typical phase of evaluation. The selection operator applies a single-elimination tournament to a randomly drawn group of individuals, and the winner of the ...

INTERACTION AND COEVOLUTION [PDF]
John Thompson defines coevolution as "reciprocal evolutionary change in interacting species." In so doing he confronts the conundrum that muddies the understanding of some of the most fascinating phenomena in nature. Evolutionary biology explores the links between genetic change and variation in form and function, while community ecology seeks to ...

Self‐Assembly of Organic–Inorganic Copolymers Toward Bio‐Inspired Cementitious Composites
Organic–inorganic copolymerization of calcium silicate hydrate and thioctic acid produces a self‐organized nanocomposite inspired by the disordered collagen–mineral architecture of trabecular bone. The resulting material combines a compressive strength above 300 MPa with intrinsic physical reprocessibility, retaining over 80% of its strength and energy

This study integrates random matrix theory (RMT) and principal component analysis (PCA) to improve the identification of correlated regions in HIV protein sequences for vaccine design. PCA validation enhances the reliability of RMT‐derived correlations, particularly in small‐sample, high‐dimensional datasets, enabling more accurate detection of ...

When Biology Meets Medicine: A Perspective on Foundation Models
Artificial intelligence, and foundation models in particular, are transforming life sciences and medicine. This perspective reviews biological and medical foundation models across scales, highlighting key challenges in data availability, model evaluation, and architectural design.

Neuro‐evolution can boost machine‐learning optimization of chiral metasurfaces. By integrating the NEAT algorithm into a deep‐learning framework, we enable the efficient design of visible‐spectrum chiroptical responses. NEAT autonomously evolves neural‐network architectures and weights, reducing manual tuning.

To explore mechanisms of rupture segmentation, we invert coseismic GNSS offsets for the 2025 Mw 7.6 Aomori, Japan earthquake. Our preferred curved‐fault solution images a compact thrust rupture at 25–50 km depth with peak slip ∼2.5 m near 35 km.
