Modelling the coevolution of London's population and railway system
As cities continue to expand it has become crucial to describe their evolution in time and space. Building on analogies with biological systems, we propose a minimalist reaction-diffusion model coupled with economic constraints and an adaptive transport ne ...
2023Extracting phylogenetic dimensions of coevolution reveals hidden functional signals
Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol
Despite the structural and functional information contained in the statistical coupling between pairs of residues in a protein, coevolution associated with function is often obscured by artifactual signals such as genetic drift, which shapes a protein's ph ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022The institutional challenges of scaling-up housing retrofit: the Swiss cities of Basel and Sion
Purpose This paper aims to discuss the nexus between two societal (sub) systems of housing and energy supply to shed new light on the key institutional barriers to socio-technical energy transition in the built environment. The key research question is to ...
EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD2019The Seamless Peer and Cloud Evolution Framework
Dario Floreano, Joshua Evan Auerbach, Giovanni Iacca, Guillaume Paul Olivier Leclerc
Evolutionary algorithms are increasingly being applied to problems that are too computationally expensive to run on a single personal computer due to costly fitness function evaluations and/or large numbers of fitness evaluations. Here, we introduce the Se ...
ACM Press2016Oral transfer of chemical cues, growth proteins and hormones in social insects
Laure Menin, Oksana Riba Grognuz, Laurent Keller
Social insects frequently engage in oral fluid exchange trophallaxis between adults, and between adults and larvae. Although trophallaxis is widely considered a food-sharing mechanism, we hypothesized that endogenous components of this fluid might underlie ...
Elife Sciences Publications Ltd2016Complex metastatic niches: already a target for therapy?
Metastatic spread is an inefficient process which requires generation of supportive microenvironments in which cancer cells can survive, proliferate and escape from immune attack. These niches are induced by systemic and locally produced factors and establ ...
Elsevier2014Bacterial evolution: rewiring modules to get in shape
Bacterial species take on a wide variety of shapes, but the mechanisms by which specific shapes evolve have remained poorly understood. A recent study demonstrates that two Asticcacaulis species repurposed an ancestral regulatory protein to rewire the modu ...
