DOI: 10.1086/714018
Abstract: Phylogenetic comparative methods represent a major advance in integrative and comparative biology and have allowed researchers to rigorously test for adaptation in a macroevolutionary framework. However, phylogenetic comparative methods require trait data for many species,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icab047
Abstract: We argue that the current environmental changes stressing the Earth's biological systems urgently require study from an integrated perspective to reveal unexpected, cross-scale interactions, particularly between microbes and macroscale phenomena. Such interactions are the basis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/10597123221089557
Abstract: Received concepts of neural activity, building on the technical concepts of information processing and coding, do not formulate the problems that an organism must formulate in order to cope with its environment. Specifically, this includes… read more here.
