The evolutionary dynamics of spite in finite populations
Rory Smead,Patrick Forber +1 more
TL;DR: A density dependent dynamic model for the evolution of spite in populations of changing size is investigated and it is shown that it is possible for unconditionally spiteful behavior to evolve without population structure in any finite population.

R.A. Fisher's gene-centred view of evolution and the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection.
TL;DR: R.A. Fisher's enunciation of his Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection in 1930 is traced and the Theorem in its original form explained and can now be seen as the centrepiece of Fisher's introduction of the gene‐centred approach to evolutionary biology.

Crossover bias in genetic programming
Maarten Keijzer,James A. Foster +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a population undergoing standard crossover will introduce a crossover bias in the visitation length, and conjectured that the crossover bias directly determines the size distribution of trees in genetic programming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inclusive fitness from multitype branching processes.
TL;DR: It is shown that inclusive fitness can be used to determine the short-term fate of mutants in the face of stochastic demographic fluctuations and a connection is provided between certain inclusive-fitness-based approaches routinely applied in theoretical studies of social evolution.

Selection on adult female body size in rhesus macaques.
TL;DR: Alternative explanations for increasing adult size in the skull and postcranium, such as continued adult growth or pathological bone deposition, do not adequately explain the observed age-related trends and are inconsistent with longitudinal studies of adult skeletal change.
