Entropic contribution to phenotype fitness
Pablo Catalán, Juan Antonio García-Martín, Jacobo Aguirre +2
All possible phenotypes are not equally accessible to evolving populations. In fact, only phenotypes of large size, i.e. those resulting from many different genotypes, are found in…
The simple emergence of complex molecular function
Susanna Manrubia
At odds with a traditional view of molecular evolution that seeks a descent-with-modification relationship between functional sequences, new functions can emerge {\it de novo} with…
Fat Tails and Black Swans: Exact Results for Multiplicative Processes with Resets
Damián H. Zanette, Susanna Manrubia
We consider a class of multiplicative processes which, added with stochastic reset events, give origin to stationary distributions with power-law tails -- ubiquitous in the statist…
Individual risk-aversion responses tune epidemics to critical transmissibility ()
Susanna Manrubia, Damián H. Zanette
Changes in human behavior are increasingly recognized as a major determinant of epidemic dynamics. Although collective activity can be modified through imposed measures to control…
Predictability: Can the turning point and end of an expanding epidemic be precisely forecast?
Mario Castro, Saúl Ares, José A. Cuesta +1
No, they can't. Epidemic spread is characterized by exponentially growing dynamics, which are intrinsically unpredictable. The time at which the growth in the number of infected in…
From genotypes to organisms: State-of-the-art and perspectives of a cornerstone in evolutionary dynamics
Susanna Manrubia, José A. Cuesta, Jacobo Aguirre +15
Understanding how genotypes map onto phenotypes, fitness, and eventually organisms is arguably the next major missing piece in a fully predictive theory of evolution. We refer to t…
