Abstract Background Comparative genomics and plastome phylogenomics have advanced significantly in recent years, highlighting the diversity, possible admixture, and non-neutral evolution of the predominantly considered n...

Multiple studies had been conducted to improve the geological understanding and enrichment patterns of the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation in the southeastern Sichuan Basin’s complex tectonic belt. However, the influence of ...

Reproductive strategies can be inferred from adult body mass, although offspring characteristics can give more accurate tools to predict life histories. In fossil mammals, adult body mass estimation incorporates error to...

Animal promoters initiate transcription either at precise positions (narrow promoters) or dispersed regions (broad promoters), a distinction referred to as promoter shape. Although highly conserved, the functional proper...

Educators in the life sciences can be challenged by students who disagree with Darwin’s theory of evolution. This article analyses the history of Creationist’s attempts to introduce alternative explanations to Darwin...

The Modern Synthesis was not widely adopted by paleoanthropologists until the 1950s, but the perception has been that this event had important theoretical and methodological consequences for the study of hominid evolutio...

"Data warehouses (DWs) evolve in both their content and schema due to changes of user requirements, business processes, or external sources to name a few. Although multiple approaches using temporal and/or multiversion D...

The most compelling models concerning the peopling of the Americas consider that modern Amerindians share a common biological pattern, showing affinities with populations of the Asian Northeast. The aim of the present st...

Abstract Accurately identifying the spatiotemporal evolution and spatial differentiation of carbon emission intensity in the transport sector is essential for formulating region-specific carbon reduction policies. This s...

"There is recent evidence that the core of the Internet, which was formerly dominated by large transit providers, has been reshaped after the transition to a multimedia-oriented network, first by general-purpose CDNs and...

The extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) emphasizes integrative approaches to understanding distributed adaptability, incorporating development and intergenerational effects, inclusive inheritance and niche construction...

Abstract When environments change and phenotypes become suboptimal, organisms often mitigate the costs of maladaptation with behavioural adjustments. Although this “buffering” of natural selection is widespread, its ...

Abstract We study the influence of the instantaneous appearance of a conformal Killing vector (CKV) in self-gravitating fluid spheres during their evolution. For doing that we introduce a tensor variable whose time depen...

Abstract The unambiguous identification of individual chromosomes is fundamental to studying genome organisation and evolution. Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel), a perennial tetraploid grass closely related to...

The rapid growth of e-commerce provides unprecedented convenience but also generates environmental costs, including carbon emissions, plastic packaging, and reverse logistics waste. Understanding green consumer behavior ...

We demonstrate that study of the evolving magnetic nature of coronal dimming regions can be used to probe the large-scale magnetic structure involved in the eruption of a coronal mass ejection (CME). We analyse the inten...

The evolutionary history of a set of taxa is usually represented by a phylogenetic tree, and this model has greatly facilitated the discussion and testing of hypotheses. However, it is well known that more complex evolut...

Comparative analysis of molecular sequence data is essential for reconstructing the evolutionary histories of species and inferring the nature and extent of selective forces shaping the evolution of genes and species. He...

Decomposition is a basic strategy in traditional multiobjective optimization. However, it has not yet been widely used in multiobjective evolutionary optimization. This paper proposes a multiobjective evolutionary algori...

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are often well-suited for optimization problems involving several, often conflicting objectives. Since 1985, various evolutionary approaches to multiobjective optimization have been develope...

In this book the authors present a complete state-of-the art in the field. Then they give an overall vision about the diverse varieties of MOEAs (Multi-Objetive Evolutionary Algorithms) and their performance. Important a...

Complex control tasks may be solved by dividing them into a more specific and more easily handled subtasks hierarchy. Several authors have demonstrated that the incremental layered evolution paradigm allows obtaining con...

Evolutionary computation (EC) has been recently recognized as a research field, which studies a new type of algorithms: Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). These algorithms process populations of solutions as opposed to most ...

The performance of two selection mechanisms used in the most popular variant of differential evolution, known as DE/rand/1/bin, are compared in the solution of constrained numerical optimization problems. Four performanc...
