A critical reexamination of recovered SARS-CoV-2 sequencing data

The paper reanalyzes SARS-CoV-2 sequencing data to address claims about sample collection dates and genetic mutations, finding no basis to question the original dates.

A stochastic analysis of the interplay between antibiotic dose, mode of action, and bacterial competition in the evolution of antibiotic resistance

This paper develops a stochastic model to analyze how antibiotic dose, mode of action, and bacterial competition influence resistance evolution, finding that resistance survival depends on density regulation and drug type.

Demographic feedbacks can hamper the spatial spread of a gene drive

This paper models gene drive spread with demographic feedbacks, showing that population dynamics can reverse invasion direction and lead to failure.

The effect of habitat choice on evolutionary rescue in subdivided populations

This study models how habitat choice affects evolutionary rescue in subdivided populations, finding that dispersal rates and immigration biases influence rescue probability in three distinct phases.

Can a population targeted by a CRISPR-based homing gene drive be rescued?

The paper models the effectiveness of gene drive brakes in preventing population eradication and finds that fitness-restoring brakes are more efficient than non-restoring ones.

Imperfect strategy transmission can reverse the role of population viscosity on the evolution of altruism

The paper shows that imperfect strategy transmission can reverse the effect of population viscosity on altruism evolution by allowing higher emigration to increase altruist frequency.

Chaos and the (un)predictability of evolution in a changing environment

This study shows that environmental changes can reduce chaos in evolutionary dynamics, improving predictability, while weak environmental forcing may increase chaos but align evolutionary trajectories with the environment.

Fidelity of parent-offspring transmission and the evolution of social behavior in structured populations

This paper investigates how mutation probabilities affect the evolution of social behavior in structured populations, finding that some life-cycles prevent altruism and that graph structure influences altruist frequency.
