Dispersal can enable access to resources in new locations. Consequently, traits that govern dispersal probability and dispersal distance may impact an individual's ability to acquire resources. However, spatial variation in the quality or q...
Evolutionary rescue via niche construction: Infrequent construction can prevent post-invasion extinction [0.03%]
通过生态位构建实现的进化救援作用:偶尔进行构建可以防止入侵后的灭绝事件发生

A population experiencing habitat loss can avoid extinction by undergoing genetic adaptation-a process known as evolutionary rescue. Here we analytically approximate the probability of evolutionary rescue via a niche-constructing mutation t...
Cultural niche construction with application to fertility control: A model for education and social transmission of contraceptive use [0.03%]
文化生态位构建在生育控制方面的应用——教育和避孕知识社会传播模型

Kaleda K Denton et al.
The evolution of a cultural trait may be affected by niche construction, or changes in the selective environment of that trait due to the inheritance of other cultural traits that make up a cultural background. This study investigates the e...
Decomposition of disparities in life expectancy with applications to administrative health claims and registry data [0.03%]
基于行政健康保险和注册数据的生命期望差距分解及其应用

Research shows that geographic disparities in life expectancy between leading and lagging states are increasing over time while racial disparities between Black and White Americans have been going down. In the 65+ age strata morbidity is th...
Adaptation of a quantitative trait to a changing environment: New analytical insights on the asexual and infinitesimal sexual models [0.03%]
定量性状适应变化环境的理论研究:无性繁殖和无限等位基因有性繁殖模型的新分析结果

J Garnier et al.
Predicting the adaptation of populations to a changing environment is crucial to assess the impact of human activities on biodiversity. Many theoretical studies have tackled this issue by modeling the evolution of quantitative traits subjec...
A cultural evolutionary model of the interaction between parental beliefs and behaviors, with applications to vaccine hesitancy [0.03%]
一种关于父母信念和行为相互作用的文化演化模型及其在疫苗犹豫问题上的应用

Health perceptions and health-related behaviors can change at the population level as cultures evolve. In the last decade, despite the proven efficacy of vaccines, the developed world has seen a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases (V...
Waiting times in a branching process model of colorectal cancer initiation [0.03%]
结肠直肠癌发生过程中一种分支过程模型的等待时间分布

We study a multi-stage model for the development of colorectal cancer from initially healthy tissue. The model incorporates a complex sequence of driver gene alterations, some of which result in immediate growth advantage, while others have...

Our understanding of aposematism (the conspicuous signalling of a defence for the deterrence of predators) has advanced notably since its first observation in the late nineteenth century. Indeed, it extends the scope of a well-established g...

This work presents a population genetic model of evolution, which includes haploid selection, mutation, recombination, and drift. The mutation-selection equilibrium can be expressed exactly in closed form for arbitrary fitness functions wit...

The diel vertical migration is one of the main drivers of population dynamics in the ocean. Population dynamical models of the ocean typically do not incorporate the behavioral aspects of the migration. We demonstrate a model with coupled p...
