Classical Evolution without Evolution
The well-known argument of Page and Wootters demonstrates how to “derive" the usual quantum dynamics of a subsystem in a global state which is an eigenstate of the total Hamiltonian. I show how the same argument can be made in classical physics by using a formalism that closely resembles the quantum one.

Background Changes in host phenotype following parasite infection are often considered as host manipulation when they seem advantageous for the parasite.

The role of plants in the formation of species-specific features in grass flies (Diptera, Chloropidae, Meromyza) [PDF]
In the current manuscript, we present the results of comparative analysis of seven species of Meromyza flies in the “variegata” cluster and of the evolutionary close species M. inornata, based the following criteria: 1) 14 external key features; 2) shape

Evolution and anti-evolution in a minimal stock market model [PDF]
We present a novel microscopic stock market model consisting of a large number of random agents modeling traders in a market. Each agent is characterized by a set of parameters that serve to make iterated predictions of two successive returns. The future

Cosmic Chemical Evolution [PDF]
Numerical simulations of standard cosmological scenarios have now reached the degree of sophistication required to provide tentative answers to the fundamental question: Where and when were the heavy elements formed? Averaging globally, these simulations

Existing ontologies model components of evolution, but none synthesize them or describe the framework of ideas used to conceptualize evolution. The Evolution Ontology (EO) aims to do just this. EO models processes (e.g. natural selection); contexts (e.g.

Ancient hybridization fuels rapid cichlid fish adaptive radiations
Cichlids underwent a rapid diversification in the Lake Victoria region, expanding to more than 700 species within 150,000 years. Here, Meier and colleagues show that an ancient hybridization between two divergent cichlid lineages generated high genetic ...

Phylogenetic mapping of scale nanostructure diversity in snakes
Background Many species of snakes exhibit epidermal surface nanostructures that form complex motifs conferring self-cleaning properties, and sometimes structural iridescence, to their skin.

Threespine Stickleback in Lake Constance: The Ecology and Genomic Substrate of a Recent Invasion
Invasive species can be powerful models for studying contemporary evolution in natural environments. As invading organisms often encounter new habitats during colonization, they will experience novel selection pressures.
