Sole, R. V.,Valverde, S. Large-scale evolution involves several layers of complexity spanning multiple scales, from genes and organisms to whole ecosystems. In this article, we review several models ...

Neo-Darwinism and the Problem of Competition. Neo-Darwinian evolution can be described compactly by the formula, “adaptation = variation + heredity + selection.” Here “variation” refers to the fact ...

Mounting evidence indicates that our planet might experience runaway effects associated to rising temperatures and ecosystem overexploitation, leading to catastrophic shifts on short time scales.

A divergence function on a manifold M defines a Riemannian metric g and dually coupled affine connections delta and delta * on M. When M is dually flat, that is flat with respect to delta and delta * ...
