The natural selection of bad science by Paul E. Smaldino, Richard McElreath

“…The persistence of poor methods results partly from incentives that favour them, leading to the natural selection of bad science. This dynamic requires no conscious strategizing—no deliberate cheating nor loafing—by scientists, only that publication is a principal factor for career advancement. …”

Natural Selection and Scale Invariance by Adrian F. Tuck

“…It is argued that natural selection consequently operates on all scales—whether or not life results will depend on both the initial and the evolving boundary conditions. …”

Pervasive natural selection in the Drosophila genome? by Guy Sella, Dmitri A Petrov, Molly Przeworski, Peter Andolfatto

“…Over the past four decades, the predominant view of molecular evolution saw little connection between natural selection and genome evolution, assuming that the functionally constrained fraction of the genome is relatively small and that adaptation is sufficiently infrequent to play little role in shaping patterns of variation within and even between species. …”

Information-Geometric Optimization with Natural Selection by Jakub Otwinowski, Colin H. LaMont, Armita Nourmohammad

“…We describe how natural selection moves a population along the non-Euclidean gradient that is induced by the population on the fitness landscape (the natural gradient). …”

Natural selection promotes antigenic evolvability. by Christopher J Graves, Vera I D Ros, Brian Stevenson, Paul D Sniegowski, Dustin Brisson

“…The hypothesis that evolvability - the capacity to evolve by natural selection - is itself the object of natural selection is highly intriguing but remains controversial due in large part to a paucity of direct experimental evidence. …”

Natural selection and evolution: evolving concepts by Andre J. van Wijnen, Eric Lewallen

“…Evolution is an overarching framework that incorporates the laws of natural selection and clarifies why phenotypic variation can increase in prevalence and result in species adaptations. …”

Cosmological Natural Selection and the Purpose of the Universe by Gardner, A, Conlon, J

“…The cosmological natural selection (CNS) hypothesis holds that the fundamental constants of nature have been fine-tuned by an evolutionary process in which universes produce daughter universes via the formation of black holes. …”

Natural selection in spatially distributed populations by Chetwynd-Diggle, JA

“…We introduce the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot model for natural selection within a population distributed on a spatial continua. …”

Natural selection in spatially structured populations by Etheridge, A

“…Here we illustrate this by using mathematical caricatures of the evolution of genetic types in a spatially distributed population to demonstrate the complex interplay between spatial structure, natural selection, and so-called random genetic drift (the randomness due to reproduction in a finite population). …”

The dynamical systems theory of natural selection by Bentley, M

“…<p>Darwin's (1859) theory of evolution by natural selection accounts for the adaptations of organisms, but, as Fisher (1930) famously said, 'natural selection is not evolution.' …”

The effect of natural selection on the performance of maximum parsimony by Ofria Charles, Torng Eric, Hang Dehua, Schmidt Thomas M

“…To gain insight into these issues, we study how well maximum parsimony performs with data generated by Avida, a digital life platform where populations of digital organisms evolve subject to natural selective pressures.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We first identify conditions where natural selection does affect maximum parsimony's reconstruction accuracy. …”

Evolution and natural selection: learning by playing and reflecting by David Herrero, Hector del Castillo, Natalia Monjelat, Ana Belén García-Varela, Mirian Checa, Patricia Gomez

“…</p> <p class="AbstractText">The results show that this video game could become an interesting learning tool to improve students’ understanding of evolution and natural selection. The students could combine their previous knowledge with the academic knowledge obtained though the simulation presented by the video game.…”
