A simple mathematical model of gradual Darwinian evolution: Emergence of a Gaussian trait distribution in adaptation along a fitness gradient [PDF]
, 2013 We consider a simple mathematical model of gradual Darwinian evolution in continuous time and continuous trait space, due to intraspecific competition for common resource in an asexually reproducing population in constant environment, while far from ...

Intraspecific Competitive Interactions Rapidly Evolve Via Spontaneous Mutations [PDF]
Evolutionary Ecology, 2022 Abstract Using a mechanistic eco-evolutionary trait-based neighborhood-model, we quantify the impact of mutations on intraspecific spatial interactions to better understand mechanisms underlying the maintenance of genetic variation and the potential effects of these evolved interactions on the population dynamics of Arabidopsis thaliana. We use

Mathematical Model of Iteroparous and Semelparous Species Interaction
Cauchy: Jurnal Matematika Murni dan Aplikasi, 2022 A species can be categorized based on its reproductive strategy, including semelparous and iteroparous. Semelparous species is a species that reproduces only once in its lifetime shortly before dying, while iteroparous species is a species that ...

Genetic divergence and aggressiveness within a supercolony of the invasive ant Linepithema humile [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 Biological invasions constitute an opportunity to study the evolutionary processes behind species’ adaptations. The invasive potential of some species, like the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), has likely been increasing because they show low ...

Virus infection suppresses Nicotiana benthamiana adaptive phenotypic plasticity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Competition and parasitism are two important selective forces that shape life-histories, migration rates and population dynamics. Recently, it has been shown in various pathosystems that parasites can modify intraspecific competition, thus generating an ...

Ecosystem size predicts eco-morphological variability in a postglacial diversification [PDF]
, 2017 Identifying the processes by which new phenotypes and species emerge has been a long-standing effort in evolutionary biology. Young adaptive radiations provide a model to study patterns of morphological and ecological diversification in environmental ...
