Energy-harnessing problem solving of primordial life: Modeling the emergence of catalytic host-nested parasite life cycles
All life forms on earth ultimately descended from a primordial population dubbed the last universal common ancestor or LUCA via Darwinian evolution. Extant living systems share two salient functional features, a metabolism extracting and transforming energ ...
2023Catch Me if You Can: Adaptation from Standing Genetic Variation to a Moving Phenotypic Optimum
Adaptation lies at the heart of Darwinian evolution. Accordingly, numerous studies have tried to provide a formal framework for the description of the adaptive process. Of these, two complementary modeling approaches have emerged: While so-called adaptive- ...
2015Mapping biological ideas: Concept maps as knowledge integration tools for evolution education
Many students leave school with a fragmented understanding of biology that does not allow them to connect their ideas to their everyday lives (Wandersee, 1989; Mintzes, Wandersee, & Novak, 1998; Mintzes, Wandersee, & Novak, 2000a). Understanding evolution ...
University of California, Berkeley2011Language Evolution as a Darwinian Process: Computational Studies
This paper presents computational experiments that illustrate how one can precisely conceptualize language evolution as a Darwinian process. We show that there is potentially a wide diversity of replicating units and replication mechanisms involved in lang ...
