This paper models the rapid radiation of crown-group placentals using the Covariant Evolutionary Tempo (CET) model, showing elevated diversification and molecular evolution rates post-K-Pg boundary.

This study examines how familiarity between homing pigeons affects leader-follower dynamics during navigation, finding that asymmetric information transfer occurs initially but stabilizes over time with little impact on navigation performance.

The paper models ant foraging movements using a random walk with stochastic resetting and finds that the probability of returning to the nest decreases with more foraging trips.

The paper develops a covariant model that integrates diversification and molecular/morphological evolution, showing that modern diversity is dominated by a few large clades with high early radiation rates and that molecular change is independent of lineage height.
