Generalization of the Price equation for evolutionary change.
TL;DR: A new structurally symmetric equation for change is presented that allows for arbitrary causal connectivity between ancestors and descendants, accounts for previously unaddressed processes (such as migration), and yields the Price equation as a special case.

Host-Pathogen Coevolution and the Emergence of Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies in Chronic Infections.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a mathematical framework to study the coevolutionary dynamics between antibodies and antigens within a host and derive the conditions that favor the emergence of broadly neutralizing antibodies, which may have relevance to vaccine design against HIV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herbivory enhances positive effects of plant genotypic diversity.
TL;DR: Genetic selection analyses showed that the selective value of ecologically important traits depended on plant diversity and exposure to deer, demonstrating that community complexity can promote fitness through multiple ecologically and evolutionarily important feedbacks.

Senescence as an adaptation to limit the spread of disease.
Josh Mitteldorf,John W. Pepper +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that frequent local extinctions provide a mechanism by which senescence may be selected as a population-level adaptation in its own right, without assuming pleiotropic benefits to the individual.

The Relation between Kin and Multilevel Selection: An Approach Using Causal Graphs
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of social behavior has been studied in the context of multilevel selection and kin selection. But the relation between which has long been a source of controversy.
