How to read “heritability” in the recipe approach to natural selection [PDF]
, 2013 There are two ways evolution by natural selection (ENS) is conceptualized in the literature. One provides a ‘recipe’ for ENS incorporating three ingredients: variation, differences in fitness and heritability.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Empirical approaches to detecting the action of natural selection in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2004 This dissertation examines two aspects of how natural selection shapes the amount and pattern of genetic variation within and between species: (1) the role of positively selected alleles in shaping the variation within and between subpopulations of a ...

Informational selection & natural selection
Physics Procedia, 2010 The Natural Selection Principle plays an important role in Darwinian evolution theory for the world of biology; its success and reasoning power have persuaded many people that there should be a similar principle for social, economic phenomena. After all, the current economy is a much faster evolutionary process. Unlike in the history of evolution where

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Natural Induction: Spontaneous Adaptive Organisation without Natural Selection
EntropyEvolution by natural selection is believed to be the only possible source of spontaneous adaptive organisation in the natural world. This places strict limits on the kinds of systems that can exhibit adaptation spontaneously, i.e., without design ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.
