Abstract: Software evolution is commonly characterized as a slow process of incremental change. Researchers have observed that software systems also exhibit characteristics of punctuation (sudden and ...

Abstract: We propose a model for the evolutionary ecology of words as one attempt to extend evolutionary game theory and agent-based models by utilizing the rich linguistic expressions of Large ...

This valuable study presents a theoretical model of how punctuated mutations influence multistep adaptation, supported by empirical evidence from some TCGA cancer cohorts. This solid model points to ...

Bears look like textbook mammals, but hidden in their evolutionary history are two dramatic departures from the standard blueprint of growth and adaptation. For the first time, scientists have ...

How many dinosaurs are there in Jurassic World Evolution 3? There are nearly 100 dinosaurs in the game, spanning land, flying, and marine species, some of which thrive in living together and others ...

The third instalment of Frontier Developments' moreish dinosaur park sim, Jurassic World Evolution 3, is almost here. You'll get to manage your very own park full of dinosaurs in this much-anticipated ...

A timeline of genetic changes in millions of years of human evolution shows that variants linked to higher intelligence appeared most rapidly around 500,000 years ago, and were closely followed by ...

The rate of acquisition of genomic changes in cancer has been the topic of much discussion, with several recent investigations finding evidence of punctuated evolution instead of gradual accumulation ...

Human evolution may no longer be driven primarily by genetics, according to a new theory by researchers at the University of Maine which claims that cultural systems are now shaping the way humans ...

An artist who scores US pop hits for a decade is exceedingly rare. How about 20 years? Even rarer still. And you can probably count on your fingers only the acts whose charting singles have stretched ...
