Toward a thermodynamic theory of evolution: a theoretical perspective on information entropy reduction and the emergence of complexity by Carlos Mendoza Montano

“…While effective in accounting for trait variation and fitness optimization, this framework provides limited insight into the physical principles underlying the spontaneous emergence of complex, ordered systems. A complementary theory is proposed: that evolution is fundamentally driven by the reduction of informational entropy. …”

Evolutionary Trajectories of Consciousness: From Biological Foundations to Technological Horizons by Evgenii Gusev, Alexey Sarapultsev, Maria Komelkova

“…We present an integrative theoretical–systems framework in which subjectivity functions as system-forming factor of consciousness (SFF) throughout biological evolution. Beginning with proto-conscious invertebrates, we trace progressive elaborations of working and long-term memory, the refinement of behavioral programs, and the emergence of an internal arbiter capable of resolving competing drives. …”

Convergent evolution of complex adaptive traits modulates angiogenesis in high-altitude Andean and Himalayan human populations by Giulia Ferraretti, Aina Rill, Paolo Abondio, Kyra Smith, Claudia Ojeda-Granados, Sara De Fanti, Marta Alberti, Massimo Izzi, Phurba T. Sherpa, Paolo Cocco, Massimiliano Tiriticco, Marco Di Marcello, Agnese Dezi, Guido Alberto Gnecchi-Ruscone, Luca Natali, Angela Corcelli, Giorgio Marinelli, Paolo Garagnani, Davide Peluzzi, Donata Luiselli, Davide Pettener, Stefania Sarno, Marco Sazzini

“…Abstract Convergent adaptations represent paradigmatic examples of the capacity of natural selection to influence organisms’ biology. However, the possibility to investigate the genetic determinants underpinning convergent complex adaptive traits has been offered only recently by methods for inferring polygenic adaptations from genomic data. …”

Coordination in strictly metric-free swarms: evidence for the existence of biological diversity by Y. N. Jia, Y. Guo, W. L. Zhang

“…Coordination serves as a crucial metric for analysing collective behaviour in complex systems. Given the prevalence of biological diversity, this study re-evaluated the coordination issue in strictly metric-free (SMF) swarms, incorporating both limited perceptual ranges and hierarchical dynamics. …”
