The transmission sense of information
C. T. Bergstrom, M. Rosvall
Biologists rely heavily on the language of information, coding, and transmission that is commonplace in the field of information theory as developed by Claude Shannon, but there is…
How many species have mass M?
Aaron Clauset, David J. Schwab, Sidney Redner
Within large taxonomic assemblages, the number of species with adult body mass M is characterized by a broad but asymmetric distribution, with the largest mass being orders of magn…
Evolutionary Model of Species Body Mass Diversification
Aaron Clauset, Sidney Redner
We present a quantitative model for the biological evolution of species body masses within large groups of related species, e.g., terrestrial mammals, in which body mass M evolves…
Pruning the Tree of Life: k-core Percolation as Selection Mechanism
Peter Klimek, Stefan Thurner, Rudolf Hanel
We propose a model for evolution aiming to reproduce statistical features of fossil data, in particular the distributions of extinction events, the distribution of species per genu…
