The Tangled nature model with inheritance and constraint: Evolutionary ecology restricted by a conserved resource
Simon Laird, Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen
We study a version of the Tangled Nature model of evolutionary ecology redefined in a phenotype space where mutants have properties correlated to their parents. The model has indiv…
The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
Correlation, selection and the evolution of species networks
Simon Laird, Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen
We use a generalised version of the individual-based Tangled Nature model of evolutionary ecology to study the relationship between ecosystem structure and evolutionary history. Ou…
A steady state network model with a 1/k scale-free degree distribution
Simon Laird, Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen
Using a steady state process of node duplication and deletion we produce networks with 1/k scale-free degree distributions in the limit of vanishing connectance. This occurs even t…
