This study presents an individual-based model showing that caste-specific ageing and age polyethism in eusocial insects arise from evolved resource allocation strategies within colonies.

The paper uses an individual-based model to study how inbreeding and demography affect population recovery from bottlenecks, finding that the firework approach is more effective than the stepping-stone approach.

This study shows that alphavirus replicons encoding IFNγ enhance cancer virotherapy by overcoming macrophage-mediated suppression through T-cell activation and macrophage reprogramming.

The paper introduces an R package to compute and analyze phylogenetic tree summary statistics, finding that many statistics are correlated with tree size and balance, and advocating for using multiple statistics to capture diverse information.

The paper introduces an R package for simulating genome evolution with ancestry, focusing on admixture scenarios and their evolutionary implications.

The paper develops a model to infer speciation rates driven by habitat dynamics using phylogenetic trees, applied to Lake Tanganyika cichlids, finding water level changes significantly influence diversity.

The paper examines how environmental factors influence cichlid community assembly in Lake Tanganyika, finding that stochastic processes dominate over deterministic ones.
