“UBC researchers have proffered a new mathematical model that seeks to unravel a key evolutionary riddle–namely what factors underlie the generation of biological diversity both within and between species.”

Their research can be found in Science:
Michael Doebeli, Iaroslav Ispolatov. Complexity and Diversity. Science, 2010: 328 (5977): 494-497 DOI: 10.1126/science.1187468

Keep up the good work mathematicians! $:D$
