摘要

模块性是指将系统结构划分为离散而又相互关联的单元,是生物学中跨尺度的基本组织原则。最近,人们在理解模块性作为一种进化机制和生物复杂性的关键驱动力的作用方面取得了进展,这凸显了模块性在塑造生命系统的结构和功能方面的重要性。在这里,我们提出了一个统一的框架,以确定模块性在从分子网络到生态等系统中的潜在进化优势,如促进可进化性、增强稳健性、改善信息流以及促成更高层次功能的出现。我们的分析揭示了模块性在生命系统中的普遍性,并强调了模块性在复杂性不断增加的多尺度层次结构进化过程中的关键作用。

Life’s building blocks: the modular path to multiscale complexity
Modularity, the structuring of systems into discrete, interconnected units, is a fundamental organizing principle in biology across multiple scales. Recent progress in understanding the role of modularity as an evolutionary mechanism and a key driver of biological complexity has highlighted its importance in shaping the structure and function of living systems. Here, we propose a unifying framework that identifies the potential evolutionary advantages of modularity in systems ranging from molecular networks to ecologies, such as facilitating evolvability, enhancing robustness, improving information flows, and enabling the emergence of higher-level functions. Our analysis reveals the pervasiveness of modularity in living systems and highlights its crucial role in the evolution of multiscale hierarchies of increasing complexity.
