Whales in Space: Experiencing Aquatic Animals in Their Natural Place with the Hydroambiphone
James P. Crutchfield, David D. Dunn, Alexandra M. Jurgens
Recording the undersea three-dimensional bioacoustic sound field in real-time promises major benefits to marine behavior studies. We describe a novel hydrophone array -- the hydroa…
Optimized Bacteria are Environmental Prediction Engines
Sarah E. Marzen, James P. Crutchfield
Experimentalists have observed phenotypic variability in isogenic bacteria populations. We explore the hypothesis that in fluctuating environments this variability is tuned to maxi…
How the Dimension of Space Affects the Products of Pre-Biotic Evolution: The Spatial Population Dynamics of Structural Complexity and The Emergence of Membranes
Steve T. Piantadosi, James P. Crutchfield
We show that autocatalytic networks of epsilon-machines and their population dynamics differ substantially between spatial (geographically distributed) and nonspatial (panmixia) po…
Entomogenic Climate Change
David Dunn, James P. Crutchfield
Rapidly expanding insect populations, deforestation, and global climate change threaten to destabilize key planetary carbon pools, especially the Earth's forests which link the mic…
Insects, Trees, and Climate: The Bioacoustic Ecology of Deforestation and Entomogenic Climate Change
David Dunn, James P. Crutchfield
Accumulating observational evidence suggests an intimate connection between rapidly expanding insect populations, deforestation, and global climate change. We review the evidence,…
