Evolutionary robotics as a modelling tool in evolutionary biology [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AIThe use of evolutionary robotic systems to model aspects of evolutionary biology is well-established. Yet, few studies have asked the question, “What kind of model is an evolutionary robotic system?” This paper seeks to address that question in several ...

The evolutionary biology of endometriosis. [PDF]
Evol Med Public Health, 2021 Abstract We provide the first analysis and synthesis of the evolutionary and mechanistic bases for risk of endometriosis in humans, structured around Niko Tinbergen's four questions about phenotypes: phylogenetic history, development, mechanism and adaptive significance.

The Role of Information in Evolutionary Biology. [PDF]
Acta Biotheor, 2023 AbstractThe Modern Synthesis has received criticism for its purported gene-centrism. That criticism relies on a concept of the gene as a unit of instructional information. In this paper I discuss information concepts and endorse one, developed from Floridi, that sees information as a functional relationship between data and context.

Evolutionary biology of language [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000 Language is the most important evolutionary invention of the last few million years. It was an adaptation that helped our species to exchange information, make plans, express new ideas and totally change the appearance of the planet. How human language evolved from animal communication is one of the most challenging questions for evolutionary biology ...

GMOD for Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
Nature Precedings, 2010 AbstractThe Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD, "http://gmod.org":http://gmod.org) project provides interoperable, open source software tools for managing, visualizing and annotating biological data. GMOD is also a community of people addressing common challenges with biological data. Some well known software in GMOD includes GBrowse and JBrowse for

Evolutionary biology and life histories [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007 The demographic processes that drive the spread of populations through environments and in turn determine the abundance of organisms are the same demographic processes that drive the spread of genes through populations and in turn determine gene ...

Adventures of a Mathematician in Evolutionary Biology. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2021 Foreword In an occasional series of articles, we will be publishing autobiographical sketches from some of those working in the field of genome evolution. The series will feature both the very eminent, but also researchers closer to their start of their career, and those from underrepresented groups.
