Journal ArticleDOI

Unifying evolutionary dynamics: from individual stochastic processes to macroscopic models.

TL;DR: A rigorous construction of the microscopic population process that captures the probabilistic dynamics over continuous time of birth, mutation, and death, as influenced by the trait values of each individual, and interactions between individuals is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality

Patrick Abbot, +137 more
- 24 Mar 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is argued that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explained the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality, but these arguments are based upon a misunderstanding of evolutionary theory and a misrepresentation of the empirical literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex ratio bias, male aggression, and population collapse in lizards

TL;DR: Numerical projections show that an "evolutionary trap" toward extinction threatens populations in which there is a substantial mating cost for females, and environmental changes or management practices skew the ASR toward males.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary rescue: an emerging focus at the intersection between ecology and evolution

TL;DR: This special issue focuses on evolutionary rescue (ER), the idea that evolution might occur sufficiently fast to arrest population decline and allow population recovery before extinction ensues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cheating and the evolutionary stability of mutualisms

TL;DR: It is shown that asymmetrical competition within species for the commodities offered by mutualistic partners provides a simple and testable ecological mechanism that can account for the long–term persistence of mutualisms.
