The Evolutionary Theory of Depression. [PDF]

open access: yesMed Sci Monit, 2017
The evolutionary success of Homo sapiens is attributed to the following two factors: the upright body posture (which freed our hands and allowed unconstrained operation of various objects) and intensive development of the frontal lobes, mainly the Broca area of the brain.

Information Geometry and Evolutionary Game Theory [PDF]

open access: green, 2009
The Shahshahani geometry of evolutionary game theory is realized as the information geometry of the simplex, deriving from the Fisher information metric of the manifold of categorical probability distributions.

Towards a mechanistic foundation of evolutionary theory [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Most evolutionary thinking is based on the notion of fitness and related ideas such as fitness landscapes and evolutionary optima. Nevertheless, it is often unclear what fitness actually is, and its meaning often depends on the context.

The selection force weakens with age because ageing evolves and not vice versa

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
A decline of selection with age is generally seen as the reason that ageing evolves. But selection can also increase with age. What happens then? This work shows that ageing nevertheless evolves, and so does the decline of selection with age.

An Evolutionary Theory of Suicide [PDF]

open access: yesGames, 2013
We analyze a model in which individuals have hereditary reproductive types. The reproductive value of an individual is determined by her reproductive type and the amount of resources she can access. We introduce the possibility of suicide and assume it is also a genetic trait that interacts with the reproductive type of an individual.

Fixation probabilities in network structured meta-populations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The effect of population structure on evolutionary dynamics is a long-lasting research topic in evolutionary ecology and population genetics. Evolutionary graph theory is a popular approach to this problem, where individuals are located on the nodes of a

Evolutionary Growth Theory [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
We begin by outlining competing stylised facts about economic growth and then set out the relations between structural change and aggregate productivity growth contingent on the evolution of the pattern of demand. We then introduce the concept of an industry level technical progress function and show how rates of technical progress are mutually ...

Synthetic Symbiosis under Environmental Disturbances

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
By virtue of complex ecologies, the behavior of mutualisms is challenging to study and nearly impossible to predict. However, laboratory engineered mutualistic systems facilitate a better understanding of their bare essentials.
