A paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that the relatively high rate of autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in the past. The paper is titled "A general ...

When we used species-level trait data rather than family averages, multiple regression analyses revealed additional links between ecological traits and genome-wide rates. In these analyses, taxa with ...

Evolutionary algorithms form a robust class of metaheuristic methods inspired by natural selection, designed to tackle combinatorial optimisation tasks where the search space grows factorially or ...
