Ecological success of sexual and asexual reproductive strategies invading an environmentally unstable habitat

W. T. A. F. Silva, A. Nyqvist, P. R. Jonsson, K. C. Harding

The paper uses a metapopulation model to show how the Allee effect and environmental stress influence the success of sexual and asexual reproduction in invading unstable habitats.

Evolution of plasticity in production and transgenerational inheritance of small RNAs under dynamic environmental conditions

W. T. A. F. Silva, S. P. Otto, S. Immler

This study develops a model to analyze how small RNA production and transgenerational inheritance evolve under fluctuating environments, finding that plastic amplification rates are favored over inheritance mechanisms in most scenarios.
