Annals of Human Biology, 2001 Time-series analysis of parish register series can be used to study human population dynamics at three different levels: (i) The metapopulation of preindustrial rural England. A short wavelength, exogenous oscillation in the burials series of 404 parishes can be detected which, it is suggested, was driven by a cycle of malnutrition associated with ...

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 of the most populated genotype on rugged fitness landscapes [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 76, 031922 (2007), 2007 We consider an asexual population evolving on rugged fitness landscapes which are defined on the multi-dimensional genotypic space and have many local optima. We track the most populated genotype as it changes when the population jumps from a fitness peak to a better one during the process of adaptation.
