A few days ago, I posted a request for suggestions of articles on philosophy of science and logical inference that would be suitable for an upper-level undergraduate course in evolutionary biology. I was particularly interested in articles about how science works that are aimed at biologists (or at least not aimed at professional philosophers), and ideally these would be in the context of one or more aspects of evolutionary biology. I got a great set of responses with really diverse suggestions. Many thanks to those who made the suggestions. Below, I've appended the list for anyone else who might find it useful.
