Prediction in Selectionist Evolutionary Theory
, 2009
"... Selectionist evolutionary theory has often been faulted for not making novel predictions that are surprising, risky, and correct. I argue that it in fact exhibits the theoretical virtue of predictive capacity in addition to two other virtues: explanatory unification and model fitting. Two case studi ..."

Application of Phylogenetic Networks in Evolutionary Studies
- SUBMITTED TO MBE 2005
, 2005
"... The evolutionary history of a set of taxa is usually represented by a phylogenetic tree, and this model has greatly facilitated the discussion and testing of hypotheses. However, it is well known that more complex evolutionary scenarios are poorly described by such models. Further, even when evoluti ..."

Comparison of Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms: Empirical Results
, 2000
"... In this paper, we provide a systematic comparison of various evolutionary approaches to multiobjective optimization using six carefully chosen test functions. Each test function involves a particular feature that is known to cause difficulty in the evolutionary optimization process, mainly in conver ..."

Evolutionary Theory and Primate Behavior
, 2001
"... Evolutionary geneticist Theodosius Dobzhanski (1973) stated that “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. ” Primate behavior is a biological phenomenon and as such it is likely to be the product of evolution. Primate behavior can be studied at different levels of analysis— o ..."
