Exponential diversity-dependent diversification emerges from an individual-based model with Lotka-Volterra competition

The paper uses an individual-based model to show that speciation rates follow an exponential function of diversity, while extinction rates show weak diversity dependence.

A general model for the evolution of nuptial gift-giving

The paper develops a general model to predict when nuptial gift-giving evolves, showing it depends on fitness benefits versus costs of gift search and mate encounter rates.

resevol: an R package for spatially explicit models of pesticide resistance given evolving pest genomes

The paper introduces the resevol R package for simulating spatially explicit models of pesticide resistance with evolving pest genomes and demonstrates its use for a simple example.

Models as games: a novel approach for 'gamesourcing' parameter data and communicating complex models

The paper presents a game-based approach to collect human decision-making data and communicate complex social-ecological models, showing how game mechanics can influence decision patterns and population dynamics.

Intervene or wait? A model evaluating the timing of intervention in conservation conflicts adaptive management under uncertainty.

This paper evaluates waiting strategies versus immediate intervention in conservation conflicts using a model, finding waiting strategies can be as effective as immediate action while saving resources.

GMSE: an R package for generalised management strategy evaluation

GMSE simulates adaptive management scenarios with genetic algorithms to address social-ecological conflicts under uncertainty.

Evolution Of Pre-Copulatory And Post-Copulatory Strategies Of Inbreeding Avoidance And Associated Polyandry

This study uses individual-based modeling to examine how pre-copulatory and post-copulatory inbreeding avoidance strategies evolve under different costs and constraints, and how they influence the evolution of polyandry.

Inbreeding parents should invest more resources in fewer offspring

The paper unifies inbreeding and parental investment theories, showing that optimal parental investment increases when inbreeding reduces offspring viability, leading to fewer offspring and altered reproductive strategies.
