The State of Software for Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2018 With Next Generation Sequencing data being routinely used, evolutionary biology is transforming into a computational science. Thus, researchers have to rely on a growing number of increasingly complex software.

What’s wrong with evolutionary biology? [PDF]
Biology & Philosophy, 2016 There have been periodic claims that evolutionary biology needs urgent reform, and this article tries to account for the volume and persistence of this discontent. It is argued that a few inescapable properties of the field make it prone to criticisms of

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 ...

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.

Frail hypotheses in evolutionary biology. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 In the last decades, under the headings of “mutation strategies,” “evolvability,” or “soft inheritance,” many ideas have been advanced on mechanisms assumed to promote innovative evolution beyond what one may anticipate from the classical model of random mutation and selection.
