Spatial Dynamics of Synchronized Ants: A Mobile Oscillator Model Analysis
José F. Fontanari, Paulo R. A. Campos
Synchronized short-term activity cycles are a prominent feature in the nests of certain ant species, but their functional significance remains controversial. This study investigate…
Solvable model for template coexistence in protocells
J. F. Fontanari, M. Serva
Compartmentalization of self-replicating molecules (templates) in protocells is a necessary step towards the evolution of modern cells. However, coexistence between distinct templa…
Evolutionary dynamics on rugged fitness landscapes: exact dynamics and information theoretical aspects
David B. Saakian, José F. Fontanari
The parallel mutation-selection evolutionary dynamics, in which mutation and replication are independent events, is solved exactly in the case that the Malthusian fitnesses associa…
Phase-Transitions in a model for the formation of herpes simplex ulcers
Claudia Pio Ferreira, Jose Fernando Fontanari, Rita M. Zorzenon dos Santos
The critical properties of a cellular automaton model describing the spreading of infection of the Herpes Simplex Virus in corneal tissue are investigated through the dynamic Monte…
Error Propagation in the Hypercycle
P. R. A. Campos, J. F. Fontanari, P. F. Stadler
We study analytically the steady-state regime of a network of n error-prone self-replicating templates forming an asymmetric hypercycle and its error tail. We show that the existen…
