Identification of Follower Status Based on Male Proximity Score in Crested Macaque
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2020 Crested macaque live in multimale-multifemale social groups where temporary association (consortship) typically occurs. Current theory and these limited qualitative observations suggest the hypothesis that behavior functions as a means for males to gain ...

Natural Selection and Scale Invariance
Life, 2023 This review points out that three of the essential features of natural selection—competition for a finite resource, variation, and transmission of memory—occur in an extremely simple, thermalized molecular population, one of colliding “billiard balls ...

COVID-19 pandemic and “survival of the fittest”
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2021 Occurrence and recurrence of COVID-19 cases have been observed globally. The complex relationship of host-pathogen and the environment plays a vital role in understanding the widespread recurrence of the SARS-CoV-2 among humans.

Natural selection promotes antigenic evolvability. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 The hypothesis that evolvability - the capacity to evolve by natural selection - is itself the object of natural selection is highly intriguing but remains controversial due in large part to a paucity of direct experimental evidence.

Natural selection. III. Selection versus transmission and the levels of selection [PDF]
, 2011 George Williams defined an evolutionary unit as hereditary information for which the selection bias between competing units dominates the informational decay caused by imperfect transmission.

An experimentally introduced population of Brassica rapa (Brassicaceae). 1. Phenotypic selection over three years following colonization of a novel environment [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Background and aims – Despite the importance of selection in driving evolution, little is known about the consistency of selection, particularly in the early stages of colonization of novel environments. This study examines the targets and consistency of

Strong Amplifiers of Natural Selection: Proofs [PDF]
, 2017 We consider the modified Moran process on graphs to study the spread of genetic and cultural mutations on structured populations. An initial mutant arises either spontaneously (aka \emph{uniform initialization}), or during reproduction (aka \emph ...

Information-Geometric Optimization with Natural Selection
Entropy, 2020 Evolutionary algorithms, inspired by natural evolution, aim to optimize difficult objective functions without computing derivatives. Here we detail the relationship between classical population genetics of quantitative traits and evolutionary ...
