This paper shows that finding the smallest number of hybridization events to explain a ploidy profile, or the hybrid number, is equivalent to solving the so-called addition sequence problem, and provides a greedy polynomial-time algorithm to decide whether a given profile can be realized by such a network.
We study the evolution of sexually reproducing populations subjected to sudden environmental changes. Using an individual based model we consider scenarios where abrupt changes can affect the carrying capacity, the mating range or the strength of assortativity, that controls the minimum similarity between individuals t...
Chromosomal rearrangement is a primary driver of speciation. The macroevolutionary forces governing diversification, however, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms of karyotypic evolution across Siluriformes (catfish), with an emphasis on the genomic plasticity of Clarias. Using a datas...

A correlation between karyotype diversity and species richness was first observed in mammals in 1980 and subsequently confirmed after controlling for phylogenetic signal. The correlation was attributed to sub-microscopic factors, presumably operating at the level of the nucleus. The identities of these factors, however...
Some consequences of the Darwinian principle of evolution by survival of the fittest are analyzed. Considering that this principle reduces evolution to a purely statistical phenomenon, we draw the conclusion that it may apply not only to living organisms but also to elements of any kind able to reproduce and to undergo...
