Resource-explicit interactions in spatial population models

This paper introduces a resource-explicit modeling method for spatial population models that improves computational efficiency while maintaining accuracy.

Individual-based modeling of genome evolution in haplodiploid organisms

The paper develops an individual-based simulation model for haplodiploid species to study genetic evolution and finds that selection is more effective in these species than in diploids.

Seeing the Forest for the trees: Assessing genetic offset predictions with Gradient Forest

This study evaluates Gradient Forest's ability to predict genetic offsets under different genetic and environmental models, finding it correlated with fitness but potentially confounded by other factors.

Migration Restores Hybrid Incompatibility Driven By Mitochondrial-Nuclear Sexual Conflict

The paper uses simulations to study how mitochondrial-nuclear sexual conflict affects hybrid incompatibility and population dynamics under different migration scenarios.

Simulation of bacterial populations with SLiM

This paper demonstrates how to simulate bacterial populations using SLiM, a forward-in-time simulator, and validates its results against existing tools and theoretical expectations.

Tree-sequence recording in SLiM opens new horizons for forward-time simulation of whole genomes

The paper implements tree-sequence recording in SLiM 3 to improve computational efficiency and enable new analyses of whole-genome simulations.

SLiM 3: Forward genetic simulations beyond the Wright-Fisher model

SLiM 3 introduces a non-Wright-Fisher model and continuous space support to enable more realistic population genetic simulations.

asymptoticMK: A web-based tool for the asymptotic McDonald-Kreitman test

asymptoticMK provides a web-based tool to implement an improved McDonald-Kreitman test that reduces bias from slightly deleterious mutations.
