Incentivising cooperation by judging a group’s performance by its weakest member in neuroevolution and reinforcement learning

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI
IntroductionAutonomous agents increasingly interact within social domains such as customer service, transportation, and healthcare, often acting collectively on behalf of humans.

For the good of the group? Exploring group-level evolutionary adaptations using multilevel selection theory. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper, we present an evolutionary framework, multilevel selection theory (MLS), that is highly amenable to existing social psychological theory and empiricism.

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Formalizing Darwinism and inclusive fitness theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009
Inclusive fitness maximization is a basic building block for biological contributions to any theory of the evolution of society. There is a view in mathematical population genetics that nothing is caused to be maximized in the process of natural selection, but this is explained as arising from a misunderstanding about the meaning of fitness ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

Inversión parental: una lectura desde la psicología evolucionista

open access: yesRevista Latinoamericana en Ciencias Sociales, Niñez y Juventud, 2011
The aim of this paper is to present some contributions of evolutionary theory to the study of childrearing,for which it took like central axis the theory of parental investment and its role in the care, protection and guidanceof child development.

Inclusive Fitness does not Impact the Survival Processing Effect

open access: yesAnimal Behavior and Cognition, 2019
Natural selection acts upon learning and memory processes, much as it does with other physical and behavioral characteristics. For example, numerous lines of inquiry using nonhuman species hypothesize adaptive specializations of Pavlovian conditioned ...
