Evolution on ecological time-scales
2007
Functional Ecology
These findings counter the long-standing assumption that ecological and evolutionary processes occur on different time-scales, and thus that the study of ecological processes can safely assume evolutionary ...
The goals of this special feature are twofold: to consider the factors that influence evolution on ecological time-scales -phenotypic plasticity, maternal effects, sexual selection, and gene flow -and ...
Ghalambor, and P. Abrams contributed directly to this review, and G. Fussmann, L. Rieseberg, E. Svensson, and S. Forde also made helpful comments. ...

Isotropy, entropy, and energy scaling
[article]
2012

First, in the Receipt's reference frame, Deg(S) = 4/3 Deg(R), where Supply S is an isotropic radiative energy source, Receipt R receives S's energy, and Deg is a system's degrees of freedom based on its ...
Second, rho(R) = Deg(R) times rho(r), where rho(R) represents the collective rate of R and rho(r) represents the rate of an individual in R: as Deg(R) increases due to the first principle, the multiplier ...
Second, the tendency toward signal evolution through ritualization restricts the range of potential evolutionary pathways. On a different scale, the same observation applies to a human society. ...

Scale invariant robot behavior with fractals
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Here we demonstrate that this is indeed the case for some, but not all, modular soft robots: there are robot designs that exhibit a desired behavior at a small size scale, and if copies of that robot are ...
Robots deployed at orders of magnitude different size scales, and that retain the same desired behavior at any of those scales, would greatly expand the environments in which the robots could operate. ...

Understanding the ecology and evolution of host-parasite interactions across scales
2015
Evolutionary Applications
Predicting the emergence, spread and evolution of parasites within and among host populations requires insight to both the spatial and temporal scales of adaptation, including an understanding of within-host ...
We then explore the ways to measure temporal variation and dynamics in host-parasite interactions and discuss the need to examine change over both ecological and evolutionary timescales. ...

Large-Scale Co-Phylogenetic Analysis on the Grid
2009
International Journal of Grid and High Performance Computing
Since the computational bulk of the problem is embarrassingly parallel, it fits well to a computational Grid and reduces the response time of large scale analyses. ...
We have developed enhanced versions of these tools that efficiently exploit a Grid environment and therefore facilitate large-scale data analyses. ...
Experiment with Real-world Data In the first experiment we are interested in the raw performance (response time) of AxParafit. pl, i.e., how long does it take to fully process a set of tasks on the Grid ...

2013 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation
This paper categorizes the most well-known initialization methods and studies the effect of them on large scale global optimization problems. ...
Furthermore, our study shows, regardless of the size of the initial population, choosing a proper initialization method is vital for solving large scale problems. ...
These methods are generally iterative and demand a large amount of memory and long time to compute on very high dimensions. ...

GP ensembles for large-scale data classification
2006
IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation
Experiments on several data sets show that, by using a training set of reduced size, better classification accuracy can be obtained, but at a much lower computational cost. ...
The method is able to deal with large data sets that do not fit in main memory since each classifier is trained on a subset of the overall training data. ...
