Evolutionary Mechanisms and Processes
Biological evolution is the natural and more or less stochastic process of the origination of living systems (organisms) from abiotic systems, of the cumulative change of their properties, and of their diversification and proliferation. Due to both specific mechanisms and passive trends, the organisms evolve toward higher complexity, diversity, and adaptedness of their traits. The most importan...

متن کاملPolicy options for value added to different levels of production
This paper presents an analytic procedure for the value added to different production levels with different policy options. The approach is stochastic and thus provides a framework for informed decision-making on productivity growth under uncertainty conditions. The model was applied to data collected from a firm and re-sults recommend that the firm should redevelop if in diversification and sy...
متن کاملEstimating the resilience value of soil biodiversity in agriculture: a stochastic simulation approach
Characteristic of ecosystems is that different organisms can have similar functions and hence provide similar ecosystem services. Consequently functional diversity can maintain the rate of services despite environmental fluctuations. In this paper we present a method for estimating the resilience value of biodiversity. Central to a resilience perspective on biological conservation is considerat...
متن کاملStochastic Responses May Allow Genetically Diverse Cell Populations to Optimize Performance with Simpler Signaling Networks
Two theories have emerged for the role that stochasticity plays in biological responses: first, that it degrades biological responses, so the performance of biological signaling machinery could be improved by increasing molecular copy numbers of key proteins; second, that it enhances biological performance, by enabling diversification of population-level responses. Using T cell biology as an ex...
