Historical records show that culture can increase exponentially in time, e.g., in number of poems, musical works, scientific discoveries. We model how human capacities for creativity and cultural transmission may make such an increase possi...

The birth and death transition rates for a population are modelled as functions of both the population size and the environmental condition. An assortment of important theoretical results and techniques that can be utilized to analyze such ...
Illustration of some limits of the Markov assumption for transition between groups in models of spread of an infectious pathogen in a structured herd [0.03%]

In epidemic models concerning a structured population, sojourn times in a group are usually described by an exponential distribution. For livestock populations, realistic distributions may be preferred for group changes (e.g. depending on s...
A coalescent process with simultaneous multiple mergers for approximating the gene genealogies of many marine organisms [0.03%]

We describe a forward-time haploid reproduction model with a constant population size that includes life history characteristics common to many marine organisms. We develop coalescent approximations for sample gene genealogies under this mo...

We develop a general patch-use model of central place foraging, which subsumes and extends several previous models. The model produces a catalog of central place effects predicting how distance from a central place influences the costs and ...

Genetic influx into a population often does not correspond to the real migration rate (m) of individuals, due to class structure within the population. The effective migration rate (m(e)) is a concept to measure gene flow in such a situatio...

Longitudinal samples of DNA sequences are the DNA sequences sampled from the same population at different time points. For fast evolving organisms, e.g. RNA virus, these kind of samples have increasingly been used to study the evolutionary ...

Dispersal can affect the assembly of local communities in a metacommunity as well as evolution of local populations in a metapopulation. These two processes may also affect each other in ways that have not yet been well studied and that may...
Limited resources and evolutionary learning may help to understand the mistimed reproduction in birds caused by climate change [0.03%]
有限的资源和进化学习可能有助于理解气候变化引起的鸟类繁殖时机不当问题

We present an agent-based model inspired by the Evolutionary Minority Game (EMG), albeit strongly adapted, to the case of competition for limited resources in ecology. The agents in this game become able, after some time, to predict the a p...

Though it is commonly supposed that there is a trade-off between virulence and transmission, there is little data and little insight into what it should look like. Here, we consider the specific case of vector-borne parasites (inspired by h...
