The evolutionary epidemiology of vaccination.
Sylvain Gandon,Troy Day +1 more
TL;DR: A theoretical framework for modelling the short- and long-term epidemiological and evolutionary consequences of vaccination is presented and it is argued that more work should be done evaluating the nature and magnitude of parasite fitness costs associated with adaptation to vaccinated hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth dynamics and the evolution of cooperation in microbial populations
TL;DR: Frequency and size of population bottlenecks, and growth dynamics, are found to be the major ecological factors determining the regimes and thereby the evolutionary pathway towards cooperation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a mechanistic foundation of evolutionary theory.
TL;DR: It is argued that fitness should not be a basal ingredient in verbal or mathematical descriptions of evolution, and instead it is proposed that evolutionary birth-death processes should be the basis of evolutionary theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limitations of inclusive fitness
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inclusive fitness is instead a limited concept, which exists only for a small subset of evolutionary processes and is as general as natural selection, and provides a universal design principle for evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
A first formal link between the price equation and an optimization program.
TL;DR: It is shown that for each population genetic model there is a corresponding optimization program with which formal links can be established, and these links provide a secure logical foundation for the commonplace biological principle that natural selection leads organisms to act as if maximizing their "fitness".
