Evolutionary dynamics from a variational principle
Peter Klimek, Stefan Thurner, Rudolf Hanel
We demonstrate with a thought experiment that fitness-based population dynamical approaches to evolution are not able to make quantitative, falsifiable predictions about the long-t…
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…
Studies in the physics of evolution: creation, formation, destruction
Rudolf Hanel, Peter Klimek, Stefan Thurner
The concept of (auto)catalytic systems has become a cornerstone in understanding evolutionary processes in various fields. The common ground is the observation that for the product…
