The evolutionary trajectory of phytophagous weevils reveals how ancient host plant shifts and continental drift influenced the development of diverse insect-plant interactions through time.
Computational modeling shows how neural mechanisms for mitigating biological constraints (such as neurons’ limited firing range) may eventually result in complex though predictable irrational behavior.
