Who Replaces Whom? Local versus Non-local Replacement in Social and Evolutionary Dynamics [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper, we inspect well-known population genetics and social dynamics models. In these models, interacting individuals, while participating in a self-organizing process, give rise to the emergence of complex behaviors and patterns.

Assortative mating for human height: A meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVES: The study of assortative mating for height has a rich history in human biology. Although the positive correlation between the stature of spouses has often been noted in western populations, recent papers suggest that mating patterns for ...

Assortative Mating in Animals and Its Role for Speciation

American Naturalist, 2019
Evolutionary theory predicts that positive assortative mating—the tendency of similar individuals to mate with each other—plays a key role for speciation by generating reproductive isolation between diverging populations. However, comprehensive tests for

Embedded CRISPRi Enhances Gene‐Silencing Efficiency in Drosophila

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technology in Drosophila has limited efficiency. This study introduces the emCRISPRi platform, which significantly enhances transcriptional silencing efficacy by embedding inhibitory domains within the dCas9 architecture.

Assortative mating among Lake Malawi cichlid fish populations is not simply predictable from male nuptial colour

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Research on the evolution of reproductive isolation in African cichlid fishes has largely focussed on the role of male colours and female mate choice. Here, we tested predictions from the hypothesis that allopatric divergence in male colour is

Assortative mating on educational attainment leads to genetic spousal resemblance for polygenic scores [PDF]

, 2016
We examined whether assortative mating for educational attainment (“like marries like”) can be detected in the genomes of ~ 1600 UK spouse pairs of European descent. Assortative mating on heritable traits like educational attainment increases the genetic

Estimates of the Heritability of Human Longevity Are Substantially Inflated due to Assortative Mating

Genetics, 2018
Here, Ruby et al. analyze an unprecedented amount of public family tree data from Ancestry and determine that the heritability of human longevity was well below 10%, lower than the widely-held belief that lifespan...

Changes in Alcohol Retail Laws and Foot Traffic at Liquor Stores

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study how expanding alcohol availability at grocery and convenience stores affects consumer traffic in liquor stores by leveraging recent changes in state‐level alcohol distribution laws in a difference‐in‐difference quasi‐experimental design.

Model of phenotypic evolution in hermaphroditic populations [PDF]

, 2013
We consider an individual based model of phenotypic evolution in hermaphroditic populations which includes random and assortative mating of individuals.

Revealing Protein–Protein Interactions Using a Graph Theory‐Augmented Deep Learning Approach

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study presents a fast, cost‐efficient approach for classifying protein–protein interactions by integrating graph‐theory parametrization with deep learning (DL). Multiscale features extracted from graph‐encoded polarized‐light microscopy (PLM) images enable accurate prediction of binding strengths.
