The paper derives the distribution of the time to the most recent pairwise genetic common ancestor in a recombining population, finding a characteristic scaling with population size.
This study uses an agent-based model to show that shadow competition leads to the evolution of long, narrow sensory cones in sit-and-wait predators, reducing predator-prey system efficiency.

The paper develops a coevolution score method to detect coevolving genes in bacterial genomes, finding coordinated gene gain/loss patterns in S. aureus related to antibiotic resistance.
