Trait variation in response to varying winter temperatures, diversity patterns and signatures of selection along the latitudinal distribution of the widespread grassland plant Arrhenatherum elatius.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that genetic diversity and trait differentiation patterns for A. elatius along a latitudinal gradient are likely shaped by both local selection and genetic drift.

Social style and resilience of macaques' networks, a theoretical investigation.

TL;DR: Network resilience and efficiency in artificial societies of macaques are studied to suggest that despite differences in network structure, networks of tolerant and intolerant macaques may be equally resilient.

The Price equation program: simple invariances unify population dynamics, thermodynamics, probability, information and inference

TL;DR: The fundamental equations of various disciplines often seem to share the same basic structure, and interpretations such as selection, information, entropy, force, acceleration, and physical work arise from the same underlying geometry expressed by the Price equation.

Beyond Enlightened Self-Interest: Social Norms, Other-Regarding Preferences, and Cooperative Behavior

TL;DR: For example, it is unlikely that a group of more than two individuals would ever adopt the cooperative equilibria that the models have identified, and almost certainly, if it were to adopt one, its members would abandon it in short order as discussed by the authors.

Pareto, Population Partitioning, Price and Genetic Programming

TL;DR: Techniques to either spread the population across many pareto optimal fitness values or to reduce the spread are described, leading to speculation that smaller evolutionary steps might aid GP in the long run.
