Genome dynamics, genetic complexity and macroevolution
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2003)
Is the evolutionary theory still useful?: A review with examples
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2010)
Change and Aging Senescence as an Adaptation
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2011)
Understanding why we age is a long-lived open problem in evolutionary biology. Aging is prejudicial to the individual, and evolutionary forces should prevent it, but many species show signs of senescence as individuals ...
The rise of the ruling reptiles and ecosystem recovery from the Permo-Triassic mass extinction
(The Royal Society, 2018-06)
One of the key faunal transitions in Earth history occurred after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (ca 252.2 Ma), when the previously obscure archosauromorphs (which include crocodylians, dinosaurs and birds) become the ...
Adaptive genetic variation mediates bottom-up and top-down control in an aquatic ecosystem
(The Royal Society, 2015-08)
Research in eco-evolutionary dynamics and community genetics has demon- strated that variation within a species can have strong impacts on associated communities and ecosystem processes. Yet, these studies have centred ...
A note on the complexity of evolutionary dynamics in a classic consumer-resource model
(2020)
We study how the complexity of evolutionary dynamics in the classic MacArthur consumer-resource model depends on resource uptake and utilization rates. The traditional assumption in such models is that the utilization rate ...
Evolutionary design of a satellite thermal control system: Real experiments for a CubeSat mission
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2016)
This paper studies the use of artificial evolution to automate the design of a satellite passive thermal control system. This type of adaptation often requires the use of computer simulations to evaluate fitness of a large ...
Rapid Initial Morphospace Expansion and Delayed Morphological Disparity Peak in the First 100 Million Years of the Archosauromorph Evolutionary Radiation
(Frontiers Media, 2021-09)
Adaptive radiations have played a major role in generating modern and deep-time biodiversity. The Triassic radiation of the Archosauromorpha was one of the most spectacular vertebrate radiations, giving rise to many highly ...
Habitat, distribuição e aspectos adaptativos de peixes da microbacia do ribeirão Grande, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil
(2004-01-01)
The ichthyofauna of ribeirão Grande microbasin that runs through one of the few remaining fragments of Atlantic Forest (in Mantiqueira mountain range, Valley of Paraíba) was studied. Fish samples were obtained with an ...
GRASP with evolutionary path-relinking for the capacitated arc routing problem
(2011-10-31)
The Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) is a well-known NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem where, given an undirected graph, the objective is to find a minimum cost set of tours servicing a subset of required ...
