A New Classification Framework to Understand Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality. [PDF]
BioessaysClassifying biological entities based on whether and how the two fundamental aspects physiological and evolutionary components are represented yields six types of structural organization. The resulting framework allows to compare different forms of organization, and, in this way, provides insight into the evolutionary processes giving rise to these ...
