Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic analysis of environmental variation.
William G. Hill,Han A. Mulder +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of stabilizing and directional selection on VE are considered and both the forces that might be maintaining levels of VE and heritability found in populations are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Game-Theoretical Evolution of Seed Mass in Multi-Species Ecological Models
Mark Rees,Mark Westoby +1 more
TL;DR: A class of models where seed mass determines 1) the number of seeds produced via a size-number trade-off and 2) competitive ability - plants arising from large seeds are assumed to have a competitive advantage over those derived from small seeds are explored.

Good genes and old age: Do old mates provide superior genes?
Thomas F. Hansen,Donald K. Price +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the oldest individuals rarely are genetically superior, and females that mate with the oldest males in a population are doing so for reasons other than to obtain offspring of high genetic quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of language: a comparative review
TL;DR: It is concluded that comparative data from living animals will be key to developing a richer, more interdisciplinary understanding of the authors' most distinctively human trait: language.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics of mutualism: the evolution of altruism between species.
TL;DR: The model shows that the spread of altruism is enhanced by spatial correlations between species in the genetic tendency to give aid to partners, and shows that natural selection and ecological dynamics can create genetic correlations between neighbors of different species, even when the initial spatial distributions of the species are uncorrelated.
