Dynamic origin of species
A simple model of species origin resulted from dynamic features of a
population, solely, is developed. The model is based on the evolution
optimality in space distribution, and the selection is gone over the mobility.
Some biological issues are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Evidence for strong co-evolution of mitochondrial and somatic genomes
We studied a relations between the triplet frequency composition of
mitochondria genomes, and the phylogeny of their bearers. First, the clusters
in 63dimensional space were developed due to -means. Second, the clade
composition of those clusters has been studied. It was found that genomes are
distributed among the clusters very regularly, with strong correlation to
taxonomy. Strong co-evolution manifests through this correlation: the proximity
in frequency space was determined over the mitochondrion genomes, while the
proximity in taxonomy was determined morphologically
Reflexive spatial behaviour does not guarantee evolution advantage in prey--predator communities
We consider the model of spatially distributed population consisting of two
species with "\textsl{predator\,--\,prey}" interaction; each of the species
occupies two stations. Transfer of individuals between the stations (migration)
is not random and yields the maximization of a net reproduction of each
species. Besides, each species implements reflexive behavior strategy to
determine the optimal migration flow
Codon Usage Bias Measured Through Entropy Approach
Codon usage bias measure is defined through the mutual entropy calculation of
real codon frequency distribution against the quasi-equilibrium one. This
latter is defined in three manners: (1) the frequency of synonymous codons is
supposed to be equal (i.e., the arithmetic mean of their frequencies); (2) it
coincides to the frequency distribution of triplets; and, finally, (3) the
quasi-equilibrium frequency distribution is defined as the expected frequency
of codons derived from the dinucleotide frequency distribution. The measure of
bias in codon usage is calculated for 125 bacterial genomes.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figur
New symmetry in nucleotide sequences
Information valuable words are the strings with the significant deviation of
real frequency from the expected one. The expected frequency is determined
through the maximum entropy principle of the reconstructed (extended) frequency
dictionary of strings composed from the shorter words. The information valuable
words are found to be the complementary palindromes: they are read equally in
opposite directions, if nucleotides are changed for the complementary ones (A
T; C G) in one of them. Some properties of such symmetric words are
discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 7 tables, 12 reference
Towards the Typology of Elections at Russia
A distinction in reasons and motives for choosing a particular political
leader establishes the key difference between older and young democracy. The
former is based on electoral history, while the latter is based on feelings and
personal attitude. Besides, a comparatively abundant number of political
figures (persons or parties and associations) is specific for young
democracies. The problem of a reference votes' distribution is analyzed.
Lefevbre's theory of a reflexive control is supposed to make the basis for
indifferent choice of political figures. This theory yields a golden section
split of votes (or the series of Fibonacci numbers, for the case of multiple
choice). A typology of political campaigns based on this theory is proposed. A
proximity of ratings of competing persons means the highest electoral tension,
a leadership of a person means a high level of mobilization; a neutral
situation corresponds to Fibonacci numbers distribution of votes
GIS-aided simulation of spatial distribution of some pollutants at "Stolby" state reservation
Reserved territories seem to be best reference sites of wildnature, where the
long-term observations are carried out. Simulation model of spatially
distributed processes of contamination of the state reservation is developed,
and the dynamics of some pollutants is studied. An issue of the generalized
evaluation of an ecological system status is discussed.Comment: 17 pages, 49 reference items, 12 figure
Simple Model of Complex Reflection Behaviour in Two-Species Community
The model of smart migration for two-species community is developed, where
the individuals implement reflexive strategy of spatial redistribution.
Simulations have been used to figure out the situations where reflexy gives an
advantage over a non-reflexive spatial behaviour, and vice versa.Comment: 10 pages, no figure
Intriguing symmetry in statistical structures of Siberian larch transcriptome
The paper presents a novel approach to infer a structuredness in a set of
symbol sequences such as transcriptome nucleotide sequences. A distribution
pattern of triplet frequencies in the Siberian larch (\textit{Larix
sibirica}~Ledeb.) transcriptome sequences was investigated in the presented
study. It was found that the larch transcriptome demonstrates a number of
unexpected symmetries in the statistical and combinatorial properties.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures. this is the extended version of the paper

Chloroplast Genome Yields Unusual Seven-Cluster Structure C
We studied the structuredness in a chloroplast genome of Siberian larch. The
clusters in 63-dimensional space were identified with elastic map technique,
where the objects to be clusterized are the different fragments of the genome.
A seven-cluster structure in the distribution of those fragments reported
previously has been found. Unlike the previous results, we have found the
drastically other composition of the clusters comprising the fragments
extracted from coding and non-coding regions of the genome.Comment: This is the extended paper presented as a poster at IWBBIO2016
