DOI: 10.1007/s00191-020-00694-4
Abstract: Since the 1990s, agri-biotech multinationals have introduced a radical innovation in the form of seeds derived from genetically modified plant varieties or GMVs. However, on the basis of the ‘precautionary principle’ that advocates ensuring a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10682-019-09981-4
Abstract: A plankton eco-evolutionary model with an alga that has the metabolic pathways to allow it to function as an autotroph or heterotroph is considered. Ecological constraints dictate that the traits that describe the feeding preferences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.econ.2019.09.002
Abstract: Abstract In order to verify the effects of machine learning in a market structure, an evolutionary model containing firms that use a genetic algorithm to decide their investment in innovative R&D was developed. These firms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15399
Abstract: Withstanding extinction while facing rapid climate change depends on a species' ability to track its ecological niche or to evolve a new one. Current methods that predict climate-driven species' range shifts use ecological modelling without… read more here.

A New Explanation for the Frog-in-the-Pan Phenomenon Based on the Cognitive-Evolutionary Model of Surprise
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Behavioral Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/bs13010007
Abstract: The frog-in-the-pan (FIP) phenomenon suggests that investors are more sensitive to abrupt price changes than gradual price changes in the stock market. Based on the cognitive-evolutionary model of surprise and the reinforcement learning model, this… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.63542
Abstract: Recent results comparing the temporal program of genome replication of yeast species belonging to the Lachancea clade support the scenario that the evolution of the replication timing program could be mainly driven by correlated acquisition… read more here.
