Multilevel Selection in Models of Prebiotic Evolution: Compartments and Spatial Self-organization

Hogeweg, Paulien, Takeuchi, Nobuto·2003·Origins of life and evolution of the biosphere

Abstract

In this paper we explore the impact of new levels of selection in models of early evolution. We contrast two types of higher levels of selection. On the one hand we look at spatially explicit models of replicators in which, by a process of self-organization, new levels of selection arise as large scale spatial patterns with a dynamics of their own. Alternatively externally imposed levels of selection above the basic replicators are created by enclosing the replicators in vesicles. In this paper we first review some results on the impact of emerging higher levels of selection on the evolutionary persistence of interacting co-evolving replicator systems. Moreover, we present a vesicle model, which can potentially integrate emerging and imposed levels of selection. We use the models to examine the classical problem information integration in early evolution.

Verification

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Enzymatic polymerization studies show that incorporation of an incorrect nucleotide causes primer extension to stall after the mutation, likely because the mismatched terminus has a suboptimal conformation.

    “However, studies of enzymatic polymerization show that if an incorrect nucleotide is incorporated then primer extension stalls after the mutation, presumably because of a suboptimal conformation at the mismatched terminus.(10)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
