The conceptual structure of evolutionary biology: A framework from phenotypic plasticity [PDF]
In this review, I approach the role of phenotypic plasticity as a key aspect of the conceptual framework of evolutionary biology. The concept of phenotypic plasticity is related to other relevant concepts of contemporary research in ...

Hierarchy Theory of Evolution and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis: Some Epistemic Bridges, Some Conceptual Rifts [PDF]
Contemporary evolutionary biology comprises a plural landscape of multiple co-existent conceptual frameworks and strenuous voices that disagree on the nature and scope of evolutionary theory.

Towards a quantum evolutionary scheme: violating Bell's inequalities in language [PDF]
We show the presence of genuine quantum structures in human language. The neo-Darwinian evolutionary scheme is founded on a probability structure that satisfies the Kolmogorovian axioms, and as a consequence cannot incorporate quantum-like evolutionary ...

What Has Genomics Taught An Evolutionary Biologist?
Genomics, an interdisciplinary field of biology on the structure, function, and evolution of genomes, has revolutionized many subdisciplines of life sciences, including my field of evolutionary biology, by supplying huge data, bringing high-throughput ...

Directions in Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
[Figure: see text] ▪ Abstract In order to understand both the past and future directions of research in evolutionary biology we need to begin by understanding in what way these programs of research differ from the model of most scientific work. The study of evolutionary processes and, in particular, the genetics of the evolutionary process must ...

The future of theoretical evolutionary game theory
Evolutionary game theory is a truly interdisciplinary subject that goes well beyond the limits of biology. Mathematical minds get hooked up in simple models for evolution and often gradually move into other parts of evolutionary biology or ecology ...

Adventures of a Mathematician in Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
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.
