Evolutionary games, climate and the generation of diversity.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Environmental stochasticity and climate affect outcomes in evolutionary games, which can thereby affect biological diversity. Our maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of replicator dynamics for morph frequency data from control (25 years) and three ...

History and structure of the closed pedigreed population of Icelandic Sheepdogs [PDF]

, 2009
Background - Dog breeds lose genetic diversity because of high selection pressure. Breeding policies aim to minimize kinship and therefore maintain genetic diversity.

Is Global Microbial Biodiversity Increasing, Decreasing, or Staying the Same?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Animal and plant biodiversity is decreasing. In contrast, the global direction and the pace of change in microbial, including viral, biodiversity is unknown.

The impact of cultural diversity on firm innovation: evidence from Dutch micro-data [PDF]

, 2013
An important question for firms and policy makers is whether the recruitment of foreign workers can boost innovation. Migration studies have demonstrated positive economic impacts of cultural diversity on productivity and innovation at the regional level,

Generating archeal diversity [PDF]

Science, 2015
Subsurface Microbes Retroelements—gene sequences that are introduced into DNA through an RNA intermediate—in subsurface archaea help increase gene and protein diversity. Paul et al. identified an archeal virus from a methane seep in a California borderlands basin that contains a complete and active diversity-generating retroelement (DGR).
