Analysis of the inheritance, selection and evolution of growth trajectories.
TL;DR: It is shown how the estimates for the additive genetic covariance function and the selection gradient function can be used to predict the evolutionary change in a population's mean growth trajectory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The measurement of selection on quantitative traits: biases due to environmental covariances between traits and fitness.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the phenotypic covariance between fitness and a trait, used as an estimate of the selection differential in estimating selection gradients, has two components: a component induced by selection itself and a component due to the effect of environmental factors on fitness.

Evolutionary game theory: temporal and spatial effects beyond replicator dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of non-mean-field effects in evolutionary game dynamics is presented, focusing on the non-trivial modifications they induce when compared to the outcome of replicator dynamics.

Did warfare among ancestral hunter-gatherers affect the evolution of human social behaviors?
TL;DR: A model of the evolutionary impact of between-group competition and a new data set that combines archaeological evidence on causes of death during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene with ethnographic and historical reports on hunter-gatherer populations finds that the estimated level of mortality in intergroup conflicts would have had substantial effects, allowing the proliferation of group-beneficial behaviors that were quite costly to the individual altruist.

Fitness and its role in evolutionary genetics
TL;DR: This Review explains how evolutionary geneticists use fitness to predict changes in the genetic composition of populations through time and distinguishes among these meanings (for example, individual fitness, absolute fitness and relative fitness).
