The paper analyzes a nonlocal PDE-ODE model of bacterial persister cells to determine a sharp parameter threshold for colony persistence or extinction.

This paper develops a theoretical framework to predict evolutionary dynamics in structured populations by integrating invasion determinants with a compressed ecological model.

This study investigates male-benefit adaptation under sex-limited selection in Drosophila melanogaster, finding compensatory evolution that improves male fitness through genetic and environmental interactions.

The paper investigates epistatic interactions in Drosophila by analyzing inbreeding effects on pupal productivity and pupa-to-adult viability, finding synergistic and antagonistic epistasis in different traits.

This study tests intralocus sexual conflict in Drosophila melanogaster using male-limited selection, finding mixed evidence with reduced male fitness variation and female fitness costs.

The paper examines how nongenetic variation in vital rates affects population growth and evolvability by modifying age-structured population models to include individual heterogeneity.
