Gaussian selection on a polygenic trait from the gene's-eye view.

The paper models Gaussian selection on a polygenic trait under statistical equilibrium, showing how genetic mutations cause deviations from optimal trait values and how these deviations influence genic selection.

Blockbuster meets the theoretical limit of genome-wide SFS-based inference of recent demography

The paper introduces Blockbuster, a program that infers recent population demography from genome-wide SFS, achieving theoretical limits and outperforming existing methods.

High-Throughput Conjugation Reveals Strain Specific Recombination Patterns Enabling Precise Trait Mapping in Escherichia coli

This study uses high-throughput conjugation to map genetic traits in E. coli by analyzing recombination patterns and fragment sizes across strains.

Structural stability of mutualistic networks over large geographic and temporal scales

The paper reconstructs ancestral mutualistic networks and finds they maintain modular structure over millions of years due to evolutionary conservatism of interactions.

The Baldwin effect reloaded: Intermediate levels of phenotypic plasticity favor evolutionary rescue

This paper presents a stochastic model showing that intermediate phenotypic plasticity can enhance evolutionary rescue by balancing the acceleration of adaptation and the reduction of mutant fitness advantage.

Learning evolutionary parameters from genealogies using allelic trees

The paper introduces CBA, a probabilistic method to infer genetic and growth rates from cell populations, using a backbone tree and monogram to model evolutionary processes.

Persistent, Private and Mobile genes: a model for gene dynamics in evolving pangenomes

This paper introduces a model for bacterial pangenome evolution and applies it to Salmonella genomes to classify genes based on their evolutionary dynamics.

Bottlenecks can constrain and channel evolutionary paths

This paper theoretically examines how population bottlenecks influence evolutionary paths and adaptation rates in periodically bottlenecked populations.
