With selection, evolution can also produce more complex organisms. Complexity often arises in the co-evolution of hosts and pathogens, with each side developing ever more sophisticated adaptations, such as the immune system and the many techniques pathogens have developed to evade it.

Our results suggest that evolution always guides complexity change, just not in a single direction. We also demonstrate that neural complexity correlates well ...
To make a case for or against a trend in the evolution of complexity in biological evolution, complexity needs to be both rigorously defined and measurable.
Life is full of grand complications, such as aerodynamic wings, multi-part organs like eyes, and intricate chemical pathways.
Aug 1, 2013 · Scientists are exploring how organisms can evolve elaborate structures without Darwinian selection.
Complexity and how it has increased throughout evolution have been central to evolutionary thinking and studies since the publication of “On the origin of ...
This paper proposes three means by which complexity tends to grow as systems evolve. In co-evolutionary systems it may grow by increases in “species” diversity: ...
The idea of evolution notes that the different systems have a common origin and dynamics. These ideas are developed in more detail in this book, in the form of ...
Abstract. It is argued that complexity, rather than fitness or organization, is the quantity whose increase gives a direction to evolution.
This paper reviews several scientific models for the origin of biological complexity. I argue that these models offer plausible mechanisms for generating ...
