For Beleaguered Computer Simulations of Evolution, Can Co-Evolution Save the Day?
A familiar illustration of co-evolution is the relationship between honey bees and flowers.
Conservation of Information and Coevolution: New BIO-Complexity Article by Ewert and Marks
Biologists often claim that coevolutionary interactions, as with bees and flowers, can alter the fitness landscape to drive evolutionary changes.
Return of the Christmas Pony – Robert Marks on Modeling Darwinian Evolution
Maybe evolution is just too complicated to model? Or maybe computer simulations have already provided a sufficient demonstration that evolution works as advertised?
Math, Computers, and Evolution: Robert Marks on Searches and Artificial Intelligence
Marks’s new book, Introduction to Evolutionary Informatics, makes an important but esoteric-sounding field accessible to the general reader.
Evolution Out of the Curriculum? If So, a Bad Idea from Turkey
