Various biological phenomena, like cell differentiation and pattern formation in multicellular organisms, are explained using bifurcation theory. Molecular network motifs such as positive feedback and mutual repression exhibit bifurcations ...

This article examines neoteny and regressive evolution in two emblematic amphibian species: Ambystoma mexicanum (axolotl) and Proteus anguinus (olm). Rather than framing larval persistence and trait loss as evolutionary shortcomings, the pa...

Science is the best way to produce facts about reality. The best, at least, that limited human beings have devised so far. Yet, not even scientists quite seem to understand how scientific knowledge is generated. This is not only a philosoph...

The metaphor of "scaffolding" originates from developmental psychology, and has become a central theoretical concept that plays explanatory roles in psychology, developmental biology, and evolutionary biology. In developmental psychology, t...

Epidemiological surveillance systems often provide data on specific characteristics of an infected population. For instance, sex, geographical location, socioeconomic level and age of the registered individuals. This allows us to study the ...

This paper considers the behavior of Wolbachia infection in a dioecious population as a discrete dynamical system. A recurrence relation is obtained as a function of the initial infected male/female frequencies and the cytoplasmic incompati...

In this paper we study genetic variation at a highly polymorphic locus of a monoecious or dioecious population whose census and effective sizes differ and possibly vary independently over time. More specifically, we develop a general framew...

We propose a discrete, stage-dependent model for metabolic scaling grounded in approximately geometric growth across successive developmental steps, using Fibonacci recursion as an archetype. In contrast to continuous fractal models such as...
