Weitz et al in PLOS Biology:

As Dobzhansky famously noted, nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. This is particularly true of biological networks, and we believe that the lens of evolution provides an exciting opportunity to link disciplines in ways that address fundamental challenges in biology. When mathematicians and physicists discuss the “evolution” of a network, they are often describing the dynamics by which a particular network structure grows and changes. When biologists discuss the evolution of networks, they typically mean that fitness is network-dependent and selection acts to optimize across a landscape of networks…
