Art, Mind and Evolution
(2017-09-01)I argue that the fact that the purpose of art is still open to theorizing is perhaps one of the stronger arguments for art behaviors being instinctual. After exploring and critiquing a selection of evolutionary theories ... -
COUGAR: A System for Clustering Unknown Malware Using Genetic Algorithm Routines
(2020-12-08)Malicious software is a persistent threat across our digital platforms. With unending malware growth, and increasingly higher profile attacks, organizations across the world are ramping up their cyber defence capabili ... -

Evolutionary dynamics under a stability-constrained model
(2021-08-17)The space of possible proteins is vast. For all but the smallest proteins, the number of sequences exceeds the number of atoms in the observable universe. Evolution—through the forces of natural selection, drift, and ... -
EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS OF A PLASTIC LIFE HISTORY TRAIT: GALAXIAS MACULATUS AMPHIDROMOUS AND RESIDENT POPULATIONS
(2021-08-20)Understanding the molecular mechanisms that differentiate diadromous from freshwater resident (non-migratory) populations can help understand how species adapt to changing conditions. In this thesis, I first review the ... -
Insights into the Origin of the CNS: Early Development of Aminergic Neurons in Molluscs
(2022-04-29)Advances in molecular approaches over the last few decades have offered new insights into animal phylogeny, revitalizing discussions on the origin of the central nervous system (CNS). Evidence of conserved developmental ... -
The Kype: An Assessment of Presence and Absence, Composition, Structure, and Evolution of a Spawning-related Lower Jaw Modification in Living and Fossil Salmonids
(2016-04-29)When in their spawn-run, several salmonids (salmon, graylings, etc.) develop a kype. The kype is a spawning-related lower jaw modification composed of a connective tissue mass supported by a framework of chondroid and ... -

Reinforcement Learning with Real Valued Tangled Program Graphs
(2021-08-27)Tangled Program Graphs (TPG) represents a framework for evolving programs under an explicitly emergent model for modularity. The framework has been very successful at discovering solutions to tasks with delayed rewards ... -
Symbiosis and its impact on eukaryote evolution
(2017-08-29)Endosymbiosis has had a significant impact on eukaryotic evolution, from various coevolving partnerships to the origin of mitochondria and plastids. Cryptophytes are a lineage of unicellular algae that harbor a red-algal ...
