Does environmental robustness play a role in fluctuating environments

TL;DR: The results suggest that the role of environmental robustness in adapting to fluctuating environments might be smaller than expected, and that average egg‐to‐adult viability across different constant thermal environments was the most important factor for explaining the fitness in fluctuating thermal environments.

Does synergy rescue the evolution of cooperation? An analysis for homogeneous populations with non-overlapping generations.

TL;DR: For homogeneously structured populations with non-overlapping generations, it is shown that incorporating synergistic effects does not rescue the evolution of cooperation.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the evolution of parthenogenesis. ii. inbreeding and the cost of meiosis.

TL;DR: The results indicate that inbreeding does not greatly change the cost of meiosis in diploids and actually increases it in haplodiploids, and inbreeding directly promotes parthenogenesis in Haplodiploid.

Experimental and theoretical models of human cultural evolution.

TL;DR: Gaps in the literature are highlighted and promising future research directions are highlighted, including the further integration of theoretical models and experimental data, the identification of the factors underlying cumulative cultural evolution, and the explanation of individual and cultural variation in social learning biases.

Among-year variation in selection during early life stages and the genetic basis of fitness in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that selection during early life stages and the genetic basis of fitness can vary markedly among years, emphasizing the need for multiyear studies considering the whole life cycle for a full understanding of natural selection and mechanisms maintaining local adaptation.
