Paradigm shifters: tricksters and cultural science by Hartley John

“…The disciplinary purpose of the paper is to try to bridge two otherwise disconnected domains – cultural studies and evolutionary economics – by showing that the traditional methods of the humanities (e.g. anthropological, textual and historical analysis) have explanatory force in the context of economic actions and complex-system evolutionary dynamics. The objective is to understand creative innovation as a general cultural attribute rather than one restricted only to accredited experts such as artists; thus to theorise creativity as a form of emergence for dynamic adaptive systems. …”

A multiscale model of the bone marrow and hematopoiesis by Ariosto Silva, Alexander R. A. Anderson, Robert Gatenby

“…Our goal is the development of a spatially-explicit in silico model of the bone marrow to understand both its normal function and the evolutionary dynamics that govern the emergence of bone marrow malignancy.Here we introduce a multiscale computational model of the bone marrow that incorporates three distinct spatial scales, cell, hematopoietic subunit, whole marrow.Our results, using parameter estimates from literature, recapitulates normal bone marrow function and suggest an explanation for the fractal-like structure of trabeculae and sinuses in the marrow, which would be an optimization of the hematopoietic function in order to maximize the number of mature blood cells produced daily within the volumetric restrictions of the marrow.…”

Differential impact of sickle cell trait on symptomatic and asymptomatic malaria by Eunha Shim, Zhilan Feng, Carlos Castillo-Chavez

“…To examine the differential impact of the sickle cell trait on symptomatic and asymptomatic malaria, we developed a mathematical model of malaria transmission that incorporates the evolutionary dynamics of $S$-gene frequency. Our model indicates that the fitness of sickle cell trait is likely to increase with the proportion of symptomatic malaria infections. …”

Short tandem repeats delineate gene bodies across eukaryotes by William B. Reinar, Anders K. Krabberød, Vilde O. Lalun, Melinka A. Butenko, Kjetill S. Jakobsen

“…These results suggest that the hypermutability inherent to STRs is canalized along the genome sequence and contributes to regulatory and eco-evolutionary dynamics in all eukaryotes.…”

Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation for the Bus-Corridor Problem in a Many-to-One Mass Transit System by Qinmu Xie, Shoufeng Ma, Ning Jia, Yang Gao

“…When each commuter has a limited memory, some fluctuations exist in the evolutionary dynamics of the system, and hence an ideal equilibrium can hardly be reached. …”

Fitness landscapes of human microsatellites. by Ryan J Haasl, Bret A Payseur

“…The heterogeneity in fitness landscapes we report suggests that genome-scale analyses like those used to assess selection targeting single nucleotide variants run the risk of oversimplifying the evolutionary dynamics of microsatellites. Moreover, our fitness landscapes provide a valuable visualization of the selective dynamics navigated by microsatellites.…”

The tetracycline resistome is shaped by selection for specific resistance mechanisms by each antibiotic generation by Kevin S. Blake, Yao-Peng Xue, Vincent J. Gillespie, Skye R. S. Fishbein, Niraj H. Tolia, Timothy A. Wencewicz, Gautam Dantas

“…This suggests mechanism-specific selection by each tetracycline generation; however, the evolutionary dynamics of this remain unclear. Here, we evaluate 24 recombinant Escherichia coli strains expressing tetracycline resistance genes from each mechanism (efflux pumps, ribosomal protection proteins, and enzymatic inactivation) in the context of each tetracycline generation. …”
