Economic man and selfish genes: the implications of group selection for economic valuation and policy

TL;DR: The authors examine the parallel controversies surrounding "economic man" and "selfish genes" with particular emphasis on the policy implications of group selection and argue for the replacement of standard welfare economics with models of human behavior in the spirit of "consilience" between economic theory and the best available science from other relevant disciplines.

On the interpretation and relevance of the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection

TL;DR: An optimizing theorem is reviewed that involves changes in gene frequency, the additive genetic variance in fitness and the mean fitness itself, all of which are involved in the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection, and which is free of the difficulties in interpretation.

Calcium Signaling: Double Duty for Calcium at the Mitochondrial Uniporter

TL;DR: Findings reveal that the process of Ca(2+) uptake by the mitochondrial uniporter is itself regulated by Ca( 2+) in a temporally complex manner.

Cytoplasmic genetics under inbreeding and outbreeding

TL;DR: It is shown that, depending on the rate of in- and outbreeding, a variety of transmission patterns of cytoplasmic factors may be expected, and the most robust prediction is that somatic fusion between close relatives, as guaranteed by com patibility at highly polymorphic loci, is expected to provide the conditions for biparental inheritance.
