Statistical genetics and evolution of quantitative traits
TL;DR: This review provides a simplified exposition of the concept and mathematics of QLE which is central to the statistical description of genotypes in sexual populations and key results of quantitative genetics such as the generalized Fisher's ``fundamental theorem,'' along with Wright's adaptive landscape, are shown to emerge within QLE.

Information systems theorizing based on evolutionary psychology: an interdisciplinary review and theory integration framework
TL;DR: It is argued here that there is often a need to integrate evolutionary and non-evolutionary theories, and four important preconditions for the successful integration of evolutionary andNon-evolved theories are discussed.

A theory of Fisher's reproductive value
TL;DR: A rigorously defined and very general structure justifies, and shows the unity of concept behind, Fisher's uses of reproductive value as measuring the significance for evolutionary processes of an individual and a class, and as an evolutionary maximand under natural selection.

The evolution of popular music: USA 1960–2010
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the US Billboard Hot 100 between 1960 and 2010, using music information retrieval and text-mining tools, and demonstrate quantitative trends in their harmonic and timbral properties.

Group selection by selective emigration: the effects of migration and kin structure
TL;DR: The discrete-generation model of selective emigration developed here yields the following conclusions: the fitness benefit of altruism, bp̄, depends on the frequency of altruists, and selective em migration is more likely than kin selection or selective extinction to lead to polymorphic equilibria.
