PLoS ONE, 2012 Urban landscapes are often located in biologically diverse, productive regions. As such, urbanization may have dramatic consequences for this diversity, largely due to changes in the structure and function of urban communities.

Multidimensional Epistasis and the Advantage of Sex
, 2005 Kondrashov and Kondrashov (2001) suggest that there is usually a disadvantage for sex in systems with multidimensional epistasis. They define systems of 'unidimensional epistasis' to be those where the fitness of a genotype is a function of the number of

Efficiency of quantum versus classical annealing in non-convex learning problems
, 2017 Quantum annealers aim at solving non-convex optimization problems by exploiting cooperative tunneling effects to escape local minima. The underlying idea consists in designing a classical energy function whose ground states are the sought optimal ...

The evolutionary landscape of functional model proteins [PDF]
Protein Engineering, Design and Selection, 1999 To study the distinct influences of structure and function on evolution, we propose a minimalist model for proteins with binding pockets, called functional model proteins, based on a shifted-HP model on a two-dimensional square lattice. These model proteins are not maximally compact and contain an empty lattice site surrounded by at least three nearest

Robustness and epistasis in mutation-selection models
, 2009 We investigate the fitness advantage associated with the robustness of a phenotype against deleterious mutations using deterministic mutation-selection models of quasispecies type equipped with a mesa shaped fitness landscape.

Large-effect flowering time mutations reveal conditionally adaptive paths through fitness landscapes in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2019 Contrary to previous assumptions that most mutations are deleterious, there is increasing evidence for persistence of large-effect mutations in natural populations.

Landscape patterns of primary production reveal agricultural benefits from forest conservation
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Primary production (PP) is a fundamental ecosystem function that influences several ecosystem services. However, little is known about how changes in landscape structure resulting from agricultural expansion affects forest and cropland production.
