Does sociality affect evolutionary speed? by Socias-Martínez, Lluís, Peckre, Louise Rachel

“…The consequences of these effects on the effective breeding population size are made responsible for changes in the speed of neutral evolution. Despite the manifold approaches used to measure sociality and evolutionary speed, there is support for both the selectionist and populationist perspectives on anagenesis. …”

Fluid dynamics of planetary differentiation by Deguen, Renaud, Huguet, Ludovic, Landeau, Maylis, Lherm, Victor, Maller, Augustin, Wacheul, Jean-Baptiste

“…The transfer of chemical elements and heat between the metal and silicate that occurred during this period is critical for the composition and initial temperature of the core and mantle, and has important implications for the long-term evolution and dynamics of the planets. After having summarised the main observational constraints on core-mantle differentiation, the article follows the sequence of processes that led to the formation of planetary cores, focusing on the contributions of laboratory fluid dynamics experiments to our understanding of these processes, and discussing the relevance and limitations of this approach to this problem. …”
