The moulding of intra-specific trait variation by selection under ecological inheritance

This study uses mathematical modeling to show how ecological inheritance can lead to trait associations and polymorphism in group-structured populations.

Foraging for locally and spatially varying resources: Where exploitation competition, local adaptation and kin selection meet

The paper uses mathematical modeling to show that locally and spatially disruptive selection often act together to promote polymorphism in consumer populations, but kin competition can inhibit this under limited dispersal.

Evolution of warfare by resource raiding favors polymorphism in belligerence and bravery

The paper models co-evolution of traits related to resource raiding and shows disruptive selection favors social polymorphism in belligerence and bravery.

Hybridization enables the fixation of selfish queen genotypes in eusocial colonies

This study uses mathematical modeling to show hybridization can drive evolutionary arms races in eusocial colonies, leading to genetically hard-wired caste determination.

The evolution of sex allocation in metapopulations

This study investigates how population turnover in metapopulations affects sex allocation in hermaphroditic species, finding that it can favor female-biased sex ratios, especially with low dispersal.

Dispersal alters the nature and scope of sexually antagonistic variation

This study shows that limited dispersal affects sexual antagonism by altering inbreeding, kin competition, and genetic drift, reducing genetic variation in subdivided populations.

Coevolutionary dynamics of genetic traits and their long-term extended effects under non-random interactions

The paper analyzes how genetic traits with extended effects influence evolutionary dynamics under non-random interactions, showing that limited gene flow and biased ecological inheritance shape trait and environmental coevolution.
