The evolution of local adaptation in long-lived species

This study shows that life history traits influence local adaptation in long-lived species depending on the timing of selection and dispersal events.

The coevolution of learning schedules and teaching enhances cumulative knowledge and drives a teacher-innovator syndrome

This study shows that coevolving learning schedules and teaching enhance cumulative knowledge and create a teacher-innovator syndrome across generations.

The joint evolution of separate sexes and sexual dimorphism

This paper shows that sexual conflict in hermaphroditic plants drives the evolution of separate sexes and sexual dimorphism, but ecological factors can maintain hermaphroditism.

The maintenance of genetic polymorphism underlying sexually antagonistic traits

The paper models how sexual antagonism affects genetic polymorphism in continuous traits, finding that stabilizing selection often leads to monomorphic outcomes, making polymorphism rare and transient.

The evolution of environmentally mediated social interactions and posthumous spite under isolation by distance

This paper analyzes the evolution of environmentally mediated social interactions and posthumous spite in a spatially structured population under isolation by distance.

Fixation times of de novo and standing beneficial variants in subdivided populations

This study examines how limited dispersal affects fixation times of beneficial mutations in subdivided populations, finding that moderate dispersal can accelerate fixation of recessive de novo mutations.

A model for the gradual evolution of dioecy and heterogametic sex determination

This paper models how dioecy with heterogametic sex determination can evolve gradually through co-evolution of resource allocation and genetic architecture, favoring XY systems under certain ecological and genetic conditions.

RCaN: a software for Chance and Necessity modelling

The paper introduces RCaN and RCaNconstructor, the first software tools for Chance and Necessity modelling, designed for participatory ecological modelling with transparency and efficiency.

An evolutionary quantitative genetics model for phenotypic (co)variance under limited dispersal, with an application to socially synergistic traits

The paper develops a quantitative genetics model to study phenotypic (co)variance under limited dispersal, showing how kin selection affects trait correlations in socially synergistic traits.

Eco-evolutionary dynamics in metacommunities: ecological inheritance, helping within- and harming between-species

The paper develops an approximation to study eco-evolutionary dynamics in dispersal-limited communities, showing how ecological inheritance influences the evolution of helping within-species and harming between-species.

Invasion fitness for gene-culture co-evolution in family-structured populations and an application to cumulative culture under vertical transmission

This paper analyzes gene-culture co-evolution in family-structured populations, showing vertical transmission increases adaptive information through kin selection but is limited by learning-reproduction trade-offs.
