Random drift with a determined outcome: a parsimonious null model of Neanderthal replacement by modern humans via neutral species drift

TL;DR: It is shown that, given that the two species occupied a similar ecological niche, modern humans were destined to replace the Neanderthals even under a neutral scenario in which neither species has a selective advantage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction: The evolution of cooperation in signed networks under the impact of structural balance.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel probabilistic procedure that allows for direct measurement of the response of the immune system to earthquake-triggered landsliding.

Evolution of Recombination Among Multiple Selected Loci: A Generalized Reduction Principle

TL;DR: In this paper, conditions for invasion by a new allele that controls the recombination pattern among an arbitrary number of genes under viability selection are studied under weak additive-by-additive epistatic selection, which involves a weighted average of the changes in pairwise recombination rates relative to those prior to the introduction of the modifier.

Oblique Transmission, Conformity, and Preference in the Evolution of Altruism

TL;DR: The evolution of altruism is frequently studied using models of non-random assortment, including kin selection, and inclusion of conformist or anti-conformist oblique transmission may reduce or increase the threshold for invasion by altruism relative to Hamilton’s rule.
