On the interpretation of the operation of natural selection in class-structured populations

The paper decomposes allele-frequency change in class-structured populations to isolate the effects of natural selection from class transmission.

Metacommunities, fitness and gradual evolution

The paper analyzes the evolution of a quantitative trait in a structured species within a metacommunity, showing that weak selection reduces complex dynamics to a single differential equation determining allele frequency change.

Hamilton's rule, gradual evolution, and the optimal (feedback) control of phenotypically plastic traits

The paper derives a marginal version of Hamilton's rule for function-valued traits and uses optimal control theory to analyze their evolution under different feedback mechanisms.

Invasion implies substitution in ecological communities with class-structured populations

The paper demonstrates that the 'invasion implies substitution' principle generalizes to structured ecological communities using geometric singular perturbation methods.

Evolutionary pathways for the generation of new self-incompatibility haplotypes in a non-self recognition system

This study models how new self-incompatibility haplotypes evolve in a non-self recognition system through population genetic and stochastic simulations, showing diversification depends on mutation order, inbreeding, and haplotype completeness.
