Symbiosis in Digital Evolution: Past, Present, and Future Open
Symbiosis, the living together of unlike organisms as symbionts, is ubiquitous in the natural world. Symbioses occur within and across all scales of life, from microbial to macro-faunal systems. Further, the interactions between symbionts …

Suicidal selection: Programmed cell death can evolve in unicellular organisms due solely to kin selection Open
Unicellular organisms can engage in a process by which a cell purposefully destroys itself, termed programmed cell death (PCD). While it is clear that the death of specific cells within a multicellular organism could increase inclusive fit…

The MODES Toolbox: Measurements of Open-Ended Dynamics in Evolving Systems Open
Building more open-ended evolutionary systems can simultaneously advance our understanding of biology, artificial life, and evolutionary computation. In order to do so, however, we need a way to determine when we are moving closer to this …
