Evolution under fluctuating environments explains observed robustness in metabolic networks. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 A high level of robustness against gene deletion is observed in many organisms. However, it is still not clear which biochemical features underline this robustness and how these are acquired during evolution.

Evolution of Mutational Robustness in an RNA Virus [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2005 Mutational (genetic) robustness is phenotypic constancy in the face of mutational changes to the genome. Robustness is critical to the understanding of evolution because phenotypically expressed genetic variation is the fuel of natural selection ...

Evolution of Robustness to Noise and Mutation in Gene Expression Dynamics
PLoS ONE, 2007 Phenotype of biological systems needs to be robust against mutation in order to sustain themselves between generations. On the other hand, phenotype of an individual also needs to be robust against fluctuations of both internal and external origins that ...

Mutational robustness changes during long-term adaptation in laboratory budding yeast populations
eLife, 2022 As an adapting population traverses the fitness landscape, its local neighborhood (i.e., the collection of fitness effects of single-step mutations) can change shape because of interactions with mutations acquired during evolution.

Evolution of Robustness in Growing Random Networks
Entropy, 2023 Networks are widely used to model the interaction between individual dynamic systems. In many instances, the total number of units and interaction coupling are not fixed in time, and instead constantly evolve.

Maladaptation and the paradox of robustness in evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Organisms use a variety of mechanisms to protect themselves against perturbations. For example, repair mechanisms fix damage, feedback loops keep homeostatic systems at their setpoints, and biochemical filters distinguish signal from noise.

Revisiting robustness and evolvability: evolution in weighted genotype spaces. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Robustness and evolvability are highly intertwined properties of biological systems. The relationship between these properties determines how biological systems are able to withstand mutations and show variation in response to them. Computational studies
