The absence of negative selection observed in most cancer genomes can be explained by the intrinsic genome-wide linkage in somatic evolution and creates a substantial proteotoxic load.

In wild bonobos, sibling birth induced a sudden increase in urinary cortisol levels in the older offspring, a physiological response that occurred in all subjects and was independent of their age.

A new model describes evolutionary transitions in individuality in terms of tradeoff and tradeoff-breaking events as opposed to changes in the nature of fitness.
The evolution of clonal multicellular life cycles, whose growth is constrained by competition, may lead to coexistence or multistability between several life cycles while evolutionarily stable strategies can be inferred from the analysis of a model with unconstrained growth.

Computational evolutionary model to predict the efficacy of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) in suppressing HIV and to design optimal combination therapy with bNAbs.
Multiobjective artificial selection methods from evolutionary computing show promise for improving directed evolution outcomes when selecting for multiple traits of interest.
