The evolution of labile traits in sex- and age-structured populations.
TL;DR: The data‐driven framework outlined here has the potential to facilitate greater insight into the nature of selection and its consequences in settings where focal traits vary over the lifetime through ontogeny, behavioural adaptation and phenotypic plasticity, as well as providing a potential bridge between theoretical and empirical studies of labile trait variation.

Genetic Programming Bloat with Dynamic Fitness
William B. Langdon,Riccardo Poli +1 more
TL;DR: Genetic programming, when evolving artificial ant control programs, is surprisingly little effected by large penalties and program growth is observed in all the authors' experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unobserved population heterogeneity: A review of formal relationships
James W. Vaupel,Trifon I. Missov +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a list of important mathematical relationships that govern populations in which individuals differ from each other in unobserved ways, and for some relationships they present proofs that, albeit formal, tend to be simple and intuitive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental Associations Between Traits: Covariance and Beyond
TL;DR: An analytical technique for calculating the covariance between traits is presented on the basis of the distribution of underlying genetic and environmental variation that jointly influences the traits and the mechanics of how these underlying factors influence the development of each trait.

Much ado about nothing: Nowak et al.'s charge against inclusive fitness theory.
François Rousset,Sébastien Lion +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that some limitations ascribed to inclusive fitness are actually limitations of current evolutionary theory, for which Nowak et al. propose no new solution and their assertedly ‘common sense’ empirical alternative to estimating inclusive fitness is not applicable in cases of interest.
