There are many methods for making evolutionary inferences from phylogenetic trees. Many of these can be divided into three main classes of models: continuous-timeMarkov chain models with finite state space (CTMC-FSS), multivariate normal models, and birth-death models. Numerous approaches are just restrictions of more general models to focus on particular questions or kinds of data. Methods can...

The paper presents a novel strategy aimed at modeling the instruction energy consumption of 32-bits microprocessors. The proposed instruction-level pow er model is founded on a functional decomposition of the activities accomplished by a generic microprocessor and exhibits signi cant generalization capabilities. It allows estimation of the pow er gures of the en tire instruction-set starting fr...

Division of labor is a complex phenomenon observed throughout nature. Theoretical studies have focused either on its emergence through selforganization mechanisms or on its adaptive consequences. We suggest that the interaction of self-organization, which undoubtedly characterizes division of labor in social insects, and evolution should be further explored. We review the factors empirically sh...

Complex structures with significant biological function can arise multiple times in evolution by common gene patterning and developmental pathways. The mammalian middle ear, with its significant hearing function, is such a complex structure and a key evolutionary innovation. Newly discovered fossils have now shown that the detachment of the ear from the jaw, an important transformation of the m...

People are interconnected, and so their health is interconnected. In recognition of this social fact, there has been growing conceptual and empirical attention over the past decade to the impact of social networks on health. This article reviews prominent findings from this literature. After drawing a distinction between social network studies and social support studies, we explore current rese...
