Journal ArticleDOI
Measures of success in a class of evolutionary models with fixed population size and structure
TL;DR: The broader aim is to spearhead a new approach to evolutionary theory, in which general principles of evolution are proven as mathematical theorems from axioms, as well as existing models of well-mixed and spatially structured populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary ecology and the use of natural selection in ecological theory.
TL;DR: Ecologists study processes such as competition, predation, energy flow, and nutrient availability to understand why species vary in abundance, and some ecologists have argued for considering the mechanisms of organic evolution as factors that help explain ecological patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eco-evolutionary vs. habitat contributions to invasion in salmon: experimental evaluation in the wild.
TL;DR: The results suggest that contemporary evolution can be an important part of the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of invasions and highlight the need for studies of the emergent fitness and ecological consequences of such evolution, rather than just changes in trait values.

Genetic evidence for natural selection in humans in the contemporary United States
TL;DR: The finding that natural selection has been slowly occurring for genetic variants associated with educational attainment and (suggestively, in females) for variant associated with age at menarche provides additional evidence that humans are still evolving—albeit slowly and at a rate that cannot account for more than a small fraction of the large changes that have occurred over the past few generations.

Evolution of music by public choice
TL;DR: A Darwinian music engine consisting of a population of short audio loops that sexually reproduce and mutate is constructed, finding that the loops quickly evolved into music attributable, in part, to the evolution of aesthetically pleasing chords and rhythms.
