Dear All,

On Wednesday, 19 November at 14:00 CET,  Jacopo Grilli (QLS Section, 
ICTP) will give a seminar titled:

*"Evolution of anticipation under partially predictable environments"

*Abstract:
Microbes in fluctuating environments must balance rapid growth against 
fast adaptation (short lag times). Using proteome allocation models, we 
show evolution drives populations to an evolutionary stable strategy 
that optimally balances this trade-off. In predictable environments, 
populations evolve to "learn" statistical patterns by pre-allocating 
their proteome according to environmental transition probabilities. This 
demonstrates how microbes use the proteome as a memory to encode and 
exploit environmental patterns without neural computation.
