Fluctuating Environments Favor Extreme Reproductive Delays and Penalize Intermediate Ones
Jorge Hidalgo, Lorenzo Fant, Rafael Rubio de Casas +1
The timing of reproduction is crucial for biological fitness. Reproductive delays carry an inherent demographic cost: an individual that takes longer to reproduce contributes later…
How neutral and niche forces contribute to speciation processes?
Niccolo Anceschi, Jorge Hidalgo, Tommaso Bellini +2
The evolutionary and ecological processes behind the origin of species are among the most fundamental problems in biology. In fact, many theoretical hypothesis on different type of…
Eco-evolutionary Model of Rapid Phenotypic Diversification in Species-Rich Communities
Paula Villa Martín, Jorge Hidalgo, Rafael Rubio de Casas +1
Evolutionary and ecosystem dynamics are often treated as different processes --operating at separate timescales-- even if evidence reveals that rapid evolutionary changes can feed…
Entropy production in systems with random transition rates
Daniel M. Busiello, Jorge Hidalgo, Amos Maritan
We study the entropy production of a system with a finite number of states connected by random transition rates. The stationary entropy production, driven out of equilibrium both b…
Impact of environmental colored noise in single-species population dynamics
Tommaso Spanio, Jorge Hidalgo, Miguel A. Muñoz
Variability on external conditions has important consequences for the dynamics and the organization of biological systems. In many cases, the characteristic timescale of environmen…
Neutral theory and scale-free neural dynamics
Matteo Martinello, Jorge Hidalgo, Serena di Santo +3
Avalanches of electrochemical activity in brain networks have been empirically reported to obey scale-invariant behavior --characterized by power-law distributions up to some upper…
Explorability and the origin of Network Sparsity in Living Systems
Daniel M. Busiello, Samir Suweis, Jorge Hidalgo +1
The increasing volume of ecologically and biologically relevant data has revealed a wide collection of emergent patterns in living systems. Analyzing different datasets, ranging fr…
Species coexistence in a neutral dynamics with environmental noise
Jorge Hidalgo, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan
Environmental fluctuations have important consequences in the organization of ecological communities, and understanding how such a variability influences the biodiversity of an eco…
Intrinsic noise and deviations from criticality in Boolean gene-regulatory networks
Pablo Villegas, José Ruiz-Franco, Jorge Hidalgo +1
Gene regulatory networks can be successfully modeled as Boolean networks. A much discussed hypothesis says that such model networks reproduce empirical findings the best if they ar…
Environmental unpredictability and inbreeding depression select for mixed dispersal syndromes
Jorge Hidalgo, Rafael Rubio de Casas, Miguel A. Munoz
Mixed dispersal syndromes have historically been regarded as bet-hedging mechanisms that enhance survival in unpredictable environments, ensuring that some propagules stay in the m…
Cooperation, competition and the emergence of criticality in communities of adaptive systems
Jorge Hidalgo, Jacopo Grilli, Samir Suweis +2
The hypothesis that living systems can benefit from operating at the vicinity of critical points has gained momentum in recent years. Criticality may confer an optimal balance betw…
Complex synchronization patterns in the human connectome network
Pablo Villegas, Jorge Hidalgo, Paolo Moretti +1
A major challenge in neuroscience is posed by the need for relating the emerging dynamical features of brain activity with the underlying modular structure of neural connections, h…
Stochasticity enhances the gaining of bet-hedging strategies in contact-process-like dynamics
Jorge Hidalgo, Simone Pigolotti, Miguel A. Munoz
In biology and ecology, individuals or communities of individuals living in unpredictable environments often alternate between different evolutionary strategies to spread and reduc…
Information-based fitness and the emergence of criticality in living systems
Jorge Hidalgo, Jacopo Grilli, Samir Suweis +3
Empirical evidence suggesting that living systems might operate in the vicinity of critical points, at the borderline between order and disorder, has proliferated in recent years,…
Stochastic Amplification of Fluctuations in Cortical Up-states
Jorge Hidalgo, Luis F. Seoane, Jesus M. Cortes +1
Cortical neurons are bistable; as a consequence their local field potentials can fluctuate between quiescent and active states, generating slow 0.5-2 Hz oscillations which are wide…
