The maintenance (or not) of polygenic variation by soft selection in heterogeneous environments.
TL;DR: The capacity of soft selection to maintain polygenic variation for a trait determined by several additive loci, selected in opposite directions in two habitats connected by dispersal is studied.
An Analysis of the MAX Problem in Genetic Programming
TL;DR: It is shown that in many cases evolution from the sub-optimal solution to the solution is possible if sucient time is allowed and Price’s Covariance and Selection Theorem is experimentally tested on GP populations.

Natural selection. VII. History and interpretation of kin selection theory.
TL;DR: Kin selection theory is a kind of causal analysis as mentioned in this paper, and it is always possible to separate total effects into different component causes, reflecting the distinct goals, interests and biases of different perspectives, for example, group selection is a particular causal scheme with certain advantages and significant limitations.

The evolutionary history of Drosophila buzzatii. XX. Positive phenotypic covariance between field adult fitness components and body size
TL;DR: The hypothesis that mating success is related to the rate of encounter and courtship time through general activity, which in turn may be related to body size is advanced, and a positive phenotypic correlation between thorax length and ovariole number, which was related to fecundity, was found in females emerged from wild pupae.
Dissertation
Pedestrian Traffic - Simulation and Experiments
TL;DR: This thesis deals with the simulation of pedestrian traffic with a focus on evacuation processes and the construction of a discrete model of pedestrian evacuation dynamics, which is applicable to scenarios with a few million persons.
