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.

Biology and Evolutionary Games [PDF]
, 2016 This chapter surveys some evolutionary games used in biological sciences. These include the Hawk-Dove game, the Prisoner’s Dilemma, Rock–Paper–Scissors, the war of attrition, the Habitat Selection game, predatorprey games, and signalling games.

The evolutionary biology of poxviruses [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2010 The poxviruses (family Poxviridae) are a family of double-stranded viruses including several species that infect humans and their domestic animals, most notably Variola virus (VARV), the causative agent of smallpox. The evolutionary biology of these viruses poses numerous questions, for which we have only partial answers at present.

Common and unique strategies of myoglobin evolution for deep-sea adaptation of diving mammals
iScience, 2021 Summary: Myoglobin (Mb) is highly concentrated in the myocytes of diving mammals such as whales and seals, in comparison with land animals, and its molecular evolution has played a crucial role in their deep-sea adaptation.
