The evolution of non-reproductive workers in insect colonies with haplodiploid genetics
eLife, 2015 Eusociality is a distinct form of biological organization. A key characteristic of advanced eusociality is the presence of non-reproductive workers. Why evolution should produce organisms that sacrifice their own reproductive potential in order to aid ...

Frequency-dependent fitness induces multistability in coevolutionary dynamics [PDF]
, 2012 Evolution is simultaneously driven by a number of processes such as mutation, competition and random sampling. Understanding which of these processes is dominating the collective evolutionary dynamics in dependence on system properties is a fundamental ...

Why Do Herbivorous Mites Suppress Plant Defenses?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Plants have evolved numerous defensive traits that enable them to resist herbivores. In turn, this resistance has selected for herbivores that can cope with defenses by either avoiding, resisting or suppressing them. Several species of herbivorous mites,

Evolutionary Dynamics on Small-Order Graphs [PDF]
, 2009 . We study the stochastic birth-death model for structured finite populations popularized by Lieberman et al. [Lieberman, E., Hauert, C., Nowak, M.A., 2005. Evolutionary dynamics on graphs. Nature 433, 312-316].

The evolutionary dynamics of hyperparasites
Journal of Theoretical BiologyEvolutionary theory has typically focused on pairwise interactions, such as those between hosts and parasites, with relatively little work having been carried out on more complex interactions including hyperparasites: parasites of parasites. Hyperparasites are common in nature, with the chestnut blight fungus virus CHV-1 a well-known natural example ...

Evolutionary tradeoff and equilibrium in an aquatic predator-prey system [PDF]
, 2004 Due to the conventional distinction between ecological (rapid) and evolutionary (slow)timescales, ecological and population models to date have typically ignored the effects of evolution.

Evolutionary dynamics of group formation
PLOS ONE, 2017 We introduce a model, based on the Evolutionary Game Theory, for studying the dynamics of group formation. The latter constitutes a relevant phenomenon observed in different animal species, whose individuals tend to cluster together forming groups of different size.

Polymorphism in the symmetries of gastric pouch arrangements in the sea anemone D. lineata
Zoological Letters, 2021 Symmetry in the arrangement of body parts is a distinctive phylogenetic feature of animals. Cnidarians show both bilateral and radial symmetries in their internal organs, such as gastric pouches and muscles.

Natural selection as coarsening
, 2017 Analogies between evolutionary dynamics and statistical mechanics, such as Fisher's second-law-like "fundamental theorem of natural selection" and Wright's "fitness landscapes", have had a deep and fruitful influence on the development of evolutionary ...
