Environmental evolutionary graph theory [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2014 Understanding the influence of an environment on the evolution of its resident population is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Great progress has been made in homogeneous population structures while heterogeneous structures have received relatively less attention.

The birth of a bacterial tRNA gene by large-scale, tandem duplication events
eLife, 2020 Organisms differ in the types and numbers of tRNA genes that they carry. While the evolutionary mechanisms behind tRNA gene set evolution have been investigated theoretically and computationally, direct observations of tRNA gene set evolution remain rare.

Why is cyclic dominance so rare?
eLife, 2020 Natural populations can contain multiple types of coexisting individuals. How does natural selection maintain such diversity within and across populations?

, 2020 This article explores how biological theories of evolution have been applied to the area of organizations. We review the processes of selection, adaptation, learning, retention, co‐evolution, and strategic intent and how they fit together to determine both organizational success and change at the level of populations and communities.

Optimizing crop rotations via Parrondo’s paradox for sustainable agriculture
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Crop rotation, a sustainable agricultural technique, has been at humanity’s disposal since time immemorial and is practised globally. Switching between cover crops and cash crops helps avoid the adverse effects of intensive farming.

The Bio-Evolutionary Approach to Religions: A Study of David Wilson's Perspective [PDF]
پژوهشنامه فلسفه دین, 2021 Biologically, one of the most important and distinguishing features of human beings compared to early mammals is culture, which includes political and social institutions, religious and moral traditions.

Understanding evolutionary and ecological dynamics using a continuum limit
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Continuum limits in the form of stochastic differential equations are typically used in theoretical population genetics to account for genetic drift or more generally, inherent randomness of the model. In evolutionary game theory and theoretical ecology,

Evolving social behavior through selection of single-cell adhesion in Dictyostelium discoideum
iScience, 2022 Summary: The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum commonly forms chimeric fruiting bodies. Genetic variants that produce a higher proportion of spores are predicted to undercut multicellular organization unless cooperators assort positively.

Social conflicts in Dictyostelium discoideum : a matter of scales
Peer Community Journal, 2021 The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum, where aggregation of genetically heterogeneous cells produces functional collective structures, epitomizes social conflicts associated with multicellular organization.
