Non-Poissonian bursts in the arrival of phenotypic variation can strongly affect the dynamics of adaptation

The paper shows that non-Poissonian bursts in phenotypic variation arrival rates significantly impact adaptive dynamics, more than fitness differences.

Bias in the arrival of variation can dominate over natural selection in Richard Dawkins' biomorphs

This study shows that developmental bias, not natural selection, dominates in shaping adaptive outcomes in biomorphs, with a preference for simpler phenotypes.

The non-deterministic genotype-phenotype map of RNA secondary structure

The paper defines a non-deterministic genotype-phenotype map for RNA secondary structures and shows it exhibits similar structural properties to the deterministic map.

The Boltzmann distributions of folded molecular structures predict likely changes through random mutations

The paper shows that Boltzmann frequencies of alternative structures predict mutation likelihoods between folded molecular structures in RNA and HP models.
