By introducing concepts analogous to overfitting and underfitting, this study in PRX Life shows how overfitness and underfitness impact selected population complexity — offering an explanation for how organism complexity evolves to optimally match their environment: go.aps.org/44ekCel

On the left is a Muller plot of class frequencies with the environment, the ground truth function ϕ∗, changed to a different randomly sampled one at t = 50. Generations are on the x axis and frequency on the y axis. A legend on the right shows q = 1 as dark purple, q = 2 as violet, q = 3 as dark blue, q = 4 as blue, q = 5 as aquamarine, q = 6 as dark green, q = 7 as green, q = 8 as lime green, and q = 9 as yellow. When the ground truth function changes, shown as a vertical dashed line, the transient success of simple classes repeats for a second time before subsiding. On the right is another Muller plot with the same x and y axis. This plot depicts how, when the environment changes at the same timescale as that of the transient, the transient becomes fixed and simple classes come to dominate selection.

3 reviews on planning, execution, & validation of transcriptomic experiments in neuroscience published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social #NatureNeuroscience. A MUST READ if you're doing transcriptomics. 3 reviews, an amazing editorial, a beautiful cover – this is the issue of the year! (mini thread)
