biologjikeqë

biologjikeqë is a theoretical concept in biology that emerged in the early 2020s as part of interdisciplinary research combining evolutionary theory, systems biology, and computational modeling. The term was coined by a collaborative team of scientists from the University of Tirana and the Institute of Molecular Biology in Warsaw in 2021. It is intended as a framework for quantifying how genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors interact over multiple generations to produce complex phenotypic outcomes. The name stems from the Albanian word “biologjike” meaning biological and a suffix to denote a holistic principle.

The key premise of biologjikeqë is that biological systems can be described by a set of coupled differential equations that capture feedback loops between organismal traits and environmental variables. By integrating genomic data, phenotypic measurements, and ecological metrics, researchers can simulate how populations respond to selective pressures and stochastic events. In practice, the model has been applied to study adaptive radiation in island bird species, the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities, and the long-term effects of climate change on plant phenology.

Critics argue that biologjikeqë simplifies the immense complexity of biological interactions and that its predictions are highly sensitive to parameter estimation. Proponents counter that the framework is flexible, allowing researchers to adjust assumptions and incorporate new data sets as they become available. The concept has stimulated discussion about the limits of mathematical abstraction in biology and the role of integrative modeling for predictive biology.

Today, biologjikeqë continues to be refined through open-source software packages that enable researchers to build and test multi-factorial simulations. Its influence can be found in both academic journals and emerging educational curricula that emphasize quantitative biology, emphasizing the growing importance of interdisciplinary approaches to understanding life processes.
