Recently, the selection-recombination equation with a single selected site and an arbitrary number of neutral sites was solved by Alberti and Baake (2021) by means of the ancestral selection-recombination graph. Here, we introduce a more ac...
Effects of cultural transmission of surnaming decisions on the sex ratio at birth [0.03%]
文化传承对命名决策及出生性别比的影响

The patriarchal tradition of surnaming a child after its father in Han Chinese families may contribute to their preference for sons, a major cause of the abnormally high SRB (sex ratio at birth) in China. This high SRB can subsequently cont...

The ancestral recombination graph (ARG) contains the full genealogical information of the sample, and many population genetic inference problems can be solved using inferred or sampled ARGs. In particular, the waiting distance between tree ...
Improving pest monitoring networks using a simulation-based approach to contribute to pesticide reduction [0.03%]
利用基于模拟的方法改进害虫监测网络以减少农药使用

Conventional pest management mainly relies on the use of pesticides. However, the negative externalities of pesticides are now well known. More sustainable practices, such as Integrated Pest Management, are necessary to limit crop damage fr...
Exploring artificial habitat fragmentation to control invasion by infectious wildlife diseases [0.03%]
探究人工栖息地片段化控制野生动物传染性疾病侵袭的方法

One way to reduce the impacts of invading wildlife diseases is setting up fences that would reduce the spread of pathogens by limiting connectivity, similarly to exclusion fences that are commonly used to conserve threatened species against...

When approached by a predator many prey species will emit an "alarm call" as a form of anti-predator behavior. One hypothesis for the function of alarm calls is the "burglar alarm" hypothesis whereby upon attack, a prey renders itself dange...
Character displacement in the presence of multiple trait differences: Evolution of the storage effect in germination and growth [0.03%]
多重性状差异下的特征位移：休眠和萌发中储存效应的演化

Ecological character displacement is a prominent hypothesis for the maintenance of ecological differences between species that are critical to stable coexistence. Models of character displacement often ascribe interspecific competitive inte...
Bifurcations and hydra effects in Bazykin's predator-prey model [0.03%]
Bazykin捕食者-猎物模型中的分支和Hydra效应现象

We consider Bazykin's model to address harvesting induced stability exchanges through bifurcation analysis. We examine the existence of hydra effects and analyze the stock pattern under predator harvesting. Prey harvesting cannot produce hy...
The interplay of dormancy and transfer in bacterial populations: Invasion, fixation and coexistence regimes [0.03%]
细菌种群中休眠和转移的相互作用：入侵、固定和共存制度
Jochen Blath,András Tóbiás
Jochen Blath
In this paper we investigate the interplay between two fundamental mechanisms of microbial population dynamics and evolution, namely dormancy and horizontal gene transfer. The corresponding traits come in many guises and are ubiquitous in m...
A nearly-neutral biallelic Moran model with biased mutation and linear and quadratic selection [0.03%]
带有偏置突变和线性及二次选择的二等位基因Moran模型

Claus Vogl
In this article, a biallelic reversible mutation model with linear and quadratic selection is analysed. The approach reconnects to one proposed by Kimura (1979), who starts from a diffusion model and derives its equilibrium distribution up ...
