Evolution leads to a diversity of motion-detection neuronal circuits

Ali Tehrani-Saleh, Thomas LaBar, Christoph Adami

A central goal of evolutionary biology is to explain the origins and distribution of diversity across life. Beyond species or genetic diversity, we also observe diversity in the ci…

Thermodynamics of Evolutionary Games

Christoph Adami, Arend Hintze

How cooperation can evolve between players is an unsolved problem of biology. Here we use Hamiltonian dynamics of models of the Ising type to describe populations of cooperating an…

Origin of life in a digital microcosm

Nitash C G, Thomas LaBar, Arend Hintze +1

While all organisms on Earth descend from a common ancestor, there is no consensus on whether the origin of this ancestral self-replicator was a one-off event or whether it was onl…

The Reasonable Effectiveness of Agent-Based Simulations in Evolutionary Game Theory

Christoph Adami, Jory Schossau, Arend Hintze

This is a Reply to comments published in Physics of Life Reviews, on our article "Evolutionary game theory using agent-based methods" (Physics of Life Reviews, 2016, arXiv:1404.099…

Shared information between residues is sufficient to detect pair-wise epistasis in a protein

A. Gupta, C. Adami

In a comment on our manuscript "Strong selection significantly increases epistatic interactions in the long-term evolution of a protein", Dr. Crona challenges our assertion that sh…

Different evolutionary paths to complexity for small and large populations of digital organisms

Thomas LaBar, Christoph Adami

A major aim of evolutionary biology is to explain the respective roles of adaptive versus non-adaptive changes in the evolution of complexity. While selection is certainly responsi…
