AbstractThe study of interfacial roughening is common in physics, from epitaxial growth in the lab to pioneering mathematical descriptions of universality in models of growth processes. These studies led to the identification of a series of general principles. Typically, stochastic growth produces an interface that becomes rougher as the deposit grows larger; this roughening can only be counteracted by mechanisms that act on the top of deposit, such as surface tension or surface diffusion.

AbstractOxygen availability is a key factor in the evolution of multicellularity, as larger and more sophisticated organisms often require mechanisms allowing efficient oxygen delivery to their tissues. One such mechanism is the presence of oxygen-binding proteins, such as globins and hemerythrins, which arose in the ancestor of bilaterian animals.
