VBioindex: A Visual Tool to Estimate Biodiversity by Dong Su Yu, Seung Hwa Yoo

“…In the fields of biological research, biodiversity is widely measured using traditional statistical indices such as the Shannon-Wiener index, species richness, evenness, and relative dominance of species. However, some biologists and ecologists have difficulty using these indices because they require advanced mathematical knowledge and computational techniques. …”

The cell as secret agent—autonomy and intelligence of the living cell: driving force of development by Brian J. Ford

“…We cannot comprehend the realities of population dynamics and evolutionary impetus without the cell being at the heart of our considerations. Biologists emphasize the importance of the organism, and imperatives derived from Cartesian reductionism underpin contemporary interpretations of multicellular organisms and the manifestation of life in protists. …”

Evolutionary Synthesis in the Social Sciences and Humanities by Mesoudi Alex

“…Here, I review research conducted in the last 30 years that has built a Darwinian theory of cultural change by borrowing the rigorous, quantitative methods developed by biologists to explain biological evolution, yet simultaneously acknowledging the differences between cultural and genetic evolution. …”

Biological Processes that Prepare Mammalian Spermatozoa to Interact with an Egg and Fertilize It by Daulat R. P. Tulsiani, Aïda Abou-Haila

“…The sperm capacitation and the induction of the acrosomal reaction are Ca2+-dependent signaling events that have been of wide interest to reproductive biologists for over half a century. In this paper, we intend to discuss data from this and other laboratories that highlight the biological processes which prepare spermatozoa to interact with an egg and fertilize it.…”

Visualisation of the numerical solution of partial differential equation systems in three space dimensions and its importance for mathematical models in biology by Heiko Enderling, Alexander R.A. Anderson, Mark A.J. Chaplain, Glenn W.A. Rowe

“…Increasingly we are seeing the development ofpartial differential equation models in more than one space dimension, and itis therefore necessary to generate a clear and effective visualisation platformbetween the mathematicians and biologists to communicate the results. Themathematical extension of models to three spatial dimensions from one or twois often a trivial task, whereas the visualisation of the results is more complicated.The scope of this paper is to apply the established marching cubesvolume rendering technique to the study of solid tumour growth and invasion,and present an adaptation of the algorithm to speed up the surface renderingfrom numerical simulation data. …”
