State-of-the-Art Review on Relevance of Genetic Algorithm to Internet Web Search by Kehinde Agbele, Ademola Adesina, Daniel Ekong, Oluwafemi Ayangbekun

“…Genetic algorithms (GAs) are robust, efficient, and optimizated methods in a wide area of search problems motivated by Darwin’s principles of natural selection and survival of the fittest. This paper describes information retrieval systems (IRS) components. …”

Paysages du maïs au Mexique by Hugo Perales

“…It is possible to interpret the case of maize in Mexico as evolutionary plant breeding within a food security objective, where farmers and natural selection of a broad genetic base continue to produce the seed that is essential for millions of farmers.…”

Evidence of the Complexity of Gene Expression Analysis in Fish Wild Populations by Mbaye Tine

“…The results suggest that the differential expression observed is not the result of evolutionary forces such as genetic drift or adaptation by natural selection. Instead, it can be speculated that genes responded to various abiotic and biotic stressors, including factors intrinsic to animals. …”

Simulating the Emergence and Survival of Mutations Using a Self Regulating Multitype Branching Processes by Charles J. Mode, Towfique Raj, Candace K. Sleeman

“…In his famous book, The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection, Sir R. A. Fisher introduced branching processes into evolutionary genetics as a framework for studying the emergence and survival of mutations in an evolving population. …”

Evolutionary Traits and Genomic Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in South America by Pablo A. Ortiz-Pineda, Carlos H. Sierra-Torres

“…Such molecular analysis of SARS-CoV-2 dynamics showed that rates of mutation, similar to other members of the Coronaviridae family, along with natural selection forces, could result in the emergence of new variants; few of them might be of high consequence. …”

Review of bioinspired aquatic jumping robots by Tao Zhang, Jiawei Dong, Qianqian Chen, Xiongqian Wu, Shuqi Wang, Yisheng Guan

“…In natural, aquatic and amphibians creatures have evolved exceptional impulsive-based, momentum-based, and mixed water–air cross domain locomotion capabilities through long-term natural selection, providing significant reference and inspiration for the design of aquatic jumping robots. …”

Inactivation of the CMAH gene and deficiency of Neu5Gc play a role in human brain evolution by Yuxin Liu, Jinhong Li, Qicai Liu

“…An inactivation mutation in CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) was the result of natural selection. The inactivation of CMAH protected our ancestors from some pathogens and reduced the level of N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) in brain tissue. …”

Slime-Groove Drag Reduction Characteristics and Mechanism of Marine Biomimetic Surface by Muhan Yan, Yunqing Gu, Longbiao Ma, Jianxing Tang, Chengdong He, Junjun Zhang, Jiegang Mou

“…Improving the energy efficiency of ships not only helps reduce fuel consumption but also reduces carbon dioxide emissions, which is an important guarantee for the green development of the ocean and the maintenance of ecological balance. Through natural selection and adaptation to the environment after evolution, the body surface of organisms generates a variety of ways to resist adhesion and resistance of Marine organisms. …”

Genomic and physiological mechanisms of high-altitude adaptation in Ethiopian highlanders: a comparative perspective by Wubalem Desta Seifu, Wubalem Desta Seifu, Abreham Bekele-Alemu, Changqing Zeng

“…High-altitude adaptation is a remarkable example of natural selection, yet the genomic and physiological adaptation mechanisms of Ethiopian highlanders remain poorly understood compared to their Andean and Tibetan counterparts. …”

Chronobiology as compensation: can biological rhythms compensate for sexual signals? by Mary L. Westwood, E. Dale Broder, E. Dale Broder, Gabrielle T. Welsh, Robin M. Tinghitella

“…In this perspective piece, we argue that biological rhythms should be considered in the milieu of compensatory traits, as they can reduce the natural selection burden of signaling. This may be particularly true for the many sexual signals that are ephemeral (i.e., only periodically present like a courtship dance). …”

FORMATION OF MEDIA COMPETENCE OF FUTURE DOCTORS IN THE PROCESS OF PRECLINICAL PROFESSIONAL TRAINING: PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS by Olena Murzina

“…Randomly selected conditions cannot significantly affect the effectiveness of the researched process, therefore a natural selection of a complex of psychological and pedagogical conditions is necessary, taking into account the methodological and theoretical basis of pedagogical research. …”

Evolutionary Explanations of the “Actuarial Senescence in the Wild” and of the “State of Senility” by Giacinto Libertini

“…However, the limits in such capacities are hardly explained in evolutionarily terms by current gerontological theories that rule out fitness decline as something genetically determined and regulated, and therefore somehow favored by natural selection.Four theories are tested as possible explanations of the “increasing mortality with increasing chronological age in populations in the wild” (“IMICAW”[1]), alias “actuarial senescence in the wild”[2], and of the observed negative correlation between extrinsic mortality and the ratio between deaths due to intrinsic mortality and deaths due to extrinsic mortality. …”
