THWARTED PATHS. "It is not difficult to imagine that coevolution might sometimes block certain adaptive paths." http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/royprsb/283/1839/20161528.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

PERSISTENCE. "Dynamic polymorphisms involve fluctuations in allele frequencies caused by selection and are inherently persistent, although fixation can occur as a result of genetic drift." https://lnkd.in/d3-W8NW View in LinkedIn

HOST SMOKE SCREEN. "We demonstrated how the host’s coevolution led to varied, and sometimes even opposite, effects on the relative fitness of different virus genotypes." http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/royprsb/283/1839/20161528.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

MOVING TARGET. "Improvements in adsorption were offset, in large part, by the evolution of host resistance, which occurred by reduced expression of LamB, the usual receptor for l. As a consequence of host coevolution, the adaptive landscape of the virus changed such that selection favouring four of the six virus intermediates became stronger after the host evolved resistance, thereby accelerating virus populations along the path to using the new OmpF receptor." http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/royprsb/283/1839/20161528.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

INTERMEDIATE GENEALOGIES. "Here, we examine how this innovation evolved by studying six intermediate genotypes of l isolated during independent transitions to exploit OmpF and comparing them to their ancestor. All six intermediates showed large increases in their adsorption rates on the ancestral host." http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/royprsb/283/1839/20161528.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

NETWORKED POWER. "There's nothing new about networked computers concurrently solving complex tasks. The most famous and largest example of such distributed computing is the SETI@home project, where nearly 3 million owners of Internet-connected computers voluntarily execute the SETI program for the project (https://lnkd.in/dZsGdiR)." http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ View in LinkedIn

"GAME THEORY: Originally developed by the great mathematician John von Neumann and the economist Oscar Morgenstern, Game Theory explores the various outcomes when interactive, semi-autonomous agents engage in either cooperative and noncooperative behavior." https://lnkd.in/dBCZ5hh View in LinkedIn

COMMUNICATION SALTATIONS. "Every major technological success in the public in the last 50 years—cars, phones, beepers, cell phones, Internet—has been about social connection. They all enhance our ability to connect in some way and are successful because they contribute to the symbiotic intelligence process." http://www.computerworld.com/article/2585443/it-management/symbiotic-intelligence.html View in LinkedIn

SPECTRAL RELATIONSHIPS. "Scientists have viewed evolution as a process of natural selection resulting from competition. But recently, some have argued that cooperation and symbiosis are really the dominant forces in nature." https://lnkd.in/duPhX2C View in LinkedIn

COMPUTER VIRUS THREAT. "It is now twenty years since Fred Cohen published his seminal research paper suggesting the potential threat of computer viruses. In the years since this publication, the risk that Cohen described has unquestionably been borne out, and alongside hackers, the threat of the computer virus is the security issue that has most clearly permeated the public mind."
