TL;DR: Using a difference equation model, the relative pay-offs for three competing male strategies (dependant care, multiple mating, mate guarding) in response to changing adult sex ratios are explored.

TL;DR: An ordinary differential equation model of mutually exclusive strategies (dependant care, multiple mating, and mate guarding), calculate steady-state frequencies and perform bifurcation analysis on parameters of care and guarding efficiency is presented.

TL;DR: A mathematical model is developed to identify the conditions under which the mutualist can persist in a population where vertical transmission is imperfect and shows that several factors compensate for imperfect vertical transmission, namely, a selective advantage to the host conferred by the Mutualist, horizontal transmission of the mutualists through an environmental reservoir and transmission of a cultural practice that promotes microbial transmission.

TL;DR: The COVID-19 Scenario Modeling Hub (SMH) as discussed by the authors has been used to forecast epidemics more than a few weeks into the future, with the additional benefit that such scenarios can be used to anticipate the comparative effect of control measures.
