    Cognition all the way up?
    Direction, agency and function in the evolution of symbiotic integration
    Using material models to investigate agency, innovation, and directionality in evolution
    Does Earth’s habitability for life exist due to or in spite of Darwinian evolution by natural selection?
    Mistakes in action: From the normativity of goal-directedness to novel investigations of avian nest construction
    Biomolecular condensates and the binding problem
    Transposable genetic elements as ecological agents
    Predictive evo-devo: From theory to an empirical framework to model the origin of variation with implications for predicting evolution
