Journal ArticleDOI
Group selection and inclusive fitness are not equivalent; the Price equation vs. models and statistics
TL;DR: The non-equivalence of group selection and kin selection is therefore not only an important finding in itself, but also a case where the use of the Price equation leads to a claim that is not correct.

Phenotypic selection on flowering phenology in Senecio integrifolius, a perennial herb
TL;DR: If plants with different phenological rank order differ in female reproductive success is tested, and the mechanisms behind differential fecundity are examined.
Insights from Price's equation into evolutionary epidemiology.
Troy Day,Sylvain Gandon +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter considers an alternative approach for developing theory in evolutionary epidemiology that uses the instantaneous rate of change of the number of infected hosts instead of using the total number of new infections generated by an infected individual as a measure of pathogen fitness.

The ultrasocial origin of the Anthropocene
John M. Gowdy,Lisi Krall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the roots of the Anthropocene lie in the agricultural revolution that began some 8000-years ago, and argue that early human agricultural societies followed the same pattern as a few social insects and exhibited explosive population growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aging, evolvability, and the individual benefit requirement; medical implications of aging theory controversies.
TL;DR: This paper describes an adaptive theory of aging and describes how one of the proposed adjustments (evolvability theory) supports adaptive aging.
