Circadian clocks are phylogenetically widespread biological oscillators that allow organisms
to entrain to environmental cycles and use their steady-state phase relationship to anticipate …

Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is a useful experimental methodology for fundamental
scientific research and industrial applications to create microbial cell factories. By using ALE …

The distribution of fitness effects of new mutations shapes evolution, but it is challenging to
observe how it changes as organisms adapt. Using Escherichia coli lineages spanning …

Body size covaries with population dynamics across life's domains. Metabolism may impose
fundamental constraints on the coevolution of size and demography, but experimental tests …

Data from nearly 1000 species reveal the upper bound to rates of biomass production
achievable by natural selection across the Tree of Life. For heterotrophs, maximum growth …

The human body is programmed with definite quantities, magnitudes, and proportions. At the
microscopic level, such definite sizes manifest in individual cells-different cell types are …

Living systems are studied using three complementary approaches: living cells, cell‐free
systems and computer‐mediated modelling. Progresses in understanding, allowing …

Following the completion of an adaptive evolution experiment, fitness evaluations are
routinely conducted to assess the magnitude of adaptation. In doing so, proper …

Closed photobioreactors reach temperatures that reduce microalgal production or even
cause culture collapses. Cooling can maintain the temperature within tolerable boundaries …

A simple agent‐based model is presented that produces results matching the experimental
data found by Lenski's group for≤ 50,000 generations of Escherichia coli bacteria under …
