The paper tests the hypothesis that propagule formation was advantageous in prebiotic ecosystems under specific spatial and environmental conditions.

This study shows that fatty acid vesicle populations can respond to artificial selection for turbidity through cooperative dynamics, not just carryover effects.

This study develops a computational model of cooperative replicating polymer systems to explore how prebiotic environments with micro-compartments enable the persistence of cooperating polymers.

The paper investigates heritability and autocatalysis in prebiotic chemical systems through serial dilution experiments and chemical reaction network analysis.
