    • Ecological and evolutionary dynamics of interconnectedness and modularity 

      Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Levin, Simon A.; Szathmáry, Eörs; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-23)
      In this contribution, we develop a theoretical framework for linking microprocesses (i.e., population dynamics and evolution through natural selection) with macrophenomena (such as interconnectedness and modularity within ...

    • Sorting of mitochondrial and plastid heteroplasmy in Arabidopsis is extremely rapid and depends on MSH1 activity 

      Broz, Amanda K.; Keene, Alexandra; Gyorfy, Matheus Fernandes; Hodous, Mychaela; Johnston, Iain; Sloan, Daniel B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The fate of new mitochondrial and plastid mutations depends on their ability to persist and spread among the numerous organellar genome copies within a cell (heteroplasmy). The extent to which heteroplasmies are transmitted ...

    • Symmetry and simplicity spontaneously emerge from the algorithmic nature of evolution 

      Johnston, Iain; Dingle, Kamaludin; Greenbury, Sam; Camargo, Chico Q.; Doye, Jonathan P K; Ahnert, Sebastian E.; Louis, Ard A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Engineers routinely design systems to be modular and symmetric in order to increase robustness to perturbations and to facilitate alterations at a later date. Biological structures also frequently exhibit modularity and ...
