The firms and markets of today's complex socio-economic system developed in a spontaneous process termed evolution, in just the same way as the universe, the solar system, the Earth and all that lives upon it. Darwin's ...

Aims. The aim of this work is to develop a formalism for the study of the secular evolution of a binary system which includes interaction due to the tides that each body imparts on the other. We also consider the influence ...

The success of targeted therapies fostered the development of increasingly specific and effective therapeutics for B-cell malignancies. However, cancer plasticity facilitates disease relapse, whereby intratumoral heterogeneity ...

We present numerical simulations of the evolution of synthetic Trans Neptunian Binaries (TNBs) under the influence of solar perturbations, tidal friction, and collisions with the population of Classical Kuiper Belt Object ...

The common ancestor of spiders likely used silk to line burrows or make simple webs, with specialized spinning organs and aerial webs originating with the evolution of the megadiverse “true spiders” (Araneomorphae). The ...

The rapid diversification of sexual traits is a common phenomenon accompanying the evolution of reproductive isolation, yet the evolutionary mechanisms driving such diversification are often unknown. Based on experimentally ...

The role of improbable but highly influential events in ecology and evolution is poorly understood. Recent works in economics and finance emphasize the importance that these events, so-called Black Swans, can have for the ...
