Evolutionary dynamics is often viewed as a subtle process of change accumulation that causes a divergence among organisms and their genomes. However, this interpretation is …
Phase transitions--changes between different states of organization in a complex system-- have long helped to explain physics concepts, such as why water freezes into a solid or …
Competitive interactions represent one of the driving forces behind evolution and natural selection in biological and sociological systems,. For example, animals in an ecosystem may …
The evolution and adaptation of molecular populations is constrained by the diversity accessible through mutational processes. RNA is a paradigmatic example of biopolymer …

Modeling the rate at which adaptive phenotypes appear in a population is a key to predicting evolutionary processes. Given random mutations, should this rate be modeled by a simple …
Viral replication is a complex dynamical process involving the global remodeling of the host cellular machinery across several stages. In this study, we provide a unified view of the virus …
The unpreventable connections between real networked systems have recently called for an examination of percolation, diffusion or synchronization phenomena in multilayer networks …

The sequence-structure map of biological macromolecules, also referred to as a genotype- phenotype (GP) map, shapes evolutionary processes by determining how mutations affect …
Background Wright's metaphor of the fitness landscape has shaped and conditioned our view of the adaptation of populations for almost a century. Since its inception, and including …
