The proposed general theory of scientific variability for technological evolution explains one
of the drivers of technological change for economic progress in human society. Variability is …

Climate change is known to affect the distribution and composition of species, but
concomitant alterations to functionally important aspects of behaviour and species …

Highlights•Social status is determined by synergies among interactions in multiple
situations.•We use a novel multilayer network approach to identify a cryptic reproductive …

Variability is the predisposition of the elements in systems to assume different values over
time and space. In biology, the variability is basic to explain differences and development in …

Research on exploring the relationship between computational thinking and domain specific
knowledge gains (ie biological evolution) are becoming more common in science education …

Behavior is shaped by genes, environment, and evolutionary history in different ways. Nest
architecture is an extended phenotype that results from the interaction between the behavior …

The spatial arrangement of variant phenotypes during stem cell division plays a crucial role
in the self-organization of cell tissues. The patterns observed in these cellular assemblies …

Uncertainty in biology refers to situations in which information is imperfect or unknown.
Variability, on the other hand, is measured by the frequency distribution of observed data …
