Evolutionary branching under slowly evolving constraints

This paper develops a method to analyze evolutionary branching under non-strict constraints in adaptive dynamics theory and applies it to a resource competition model.

Evolutionary branching points in multi-dimensional trait spaces

This paper extends evolutionary branching theory to multi-dimensional trait spaces by introducing branching possibility and inevitability criteria, showing they can induce branching under both asexual and sexual reproduction.

Growth regulation bringing modularity to morphogenesis of complex three-dimensional exoskeletons

This study investigates how non-uniform epidermal growth regulated by morphogen distribution can generate complex three-dimensional arthropod appendages from planar tissue.
