Transitions in evolution: a formal analysis
TL;DR: A framework for levels of selection compatible with the diachronic perspective is developed and implemented in the Price equation, leading to a new statistical partitioning of this equation which, it is argued, represents a causal decomposition more relevant for ETIs.

Altruism from an Evolutionary Perspective
David Wilson,Kevin M. Kniffin +1 more
TL;DR: A primer on altruism through evolutionary perspectives and the importance of culture in the evolution of altruism is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Price equation and reproductive value
TL;DR: A theoretical challenge emerges from the articulation of Fisher’s structure: is it possible to retain the ecological properties of fitness as well as its evolutionary out-of-equilibrium properties?

Why are estimates of the strength and direction of natural selection from wild populations not congruent with observed rates of phenotypic change
TL;DR: Study of the causes of adaptive change at a genotypic rather than phenotypic level may reveal that it is occurring too slowly to be easily observed, and fitness correlations with quantitative traits adequate measures of selection in the wild.

Linear stability theory as an early warning sign for transitions in high dimensional complex systems
TL;DR: A new approach to the monitoring and forecasting of the onset of transitions in high dimensional complex systems by application to the Tangled Nature model of evolutionary ecology and high dimensional replicator systems with a stochastic element is analyzed.
