Evolutionary game theory and the adaptive dynamics approach have made invaluable
contributions to understanding how gradual evolution leads to adaptation when individuals …

Mathematical models have played an important role in the development of sexual selection
theory. These models come in different flavors and they differ in their assumptions, often in a …

The importance of whole-genome duplication (WGD) for evolution is controversial. Whereas
some view WGD mainly as detrimental and an evolutionary dead end, there is growing …

Intracellular processes rarely work in isolation but continually interact with the rest of the cell.
In microbes, for example, we now know that gene expression across the whole genome …

The replicator equation is the first and most important game dynamics studied in connection
with evolutionary game theory. It was originally developed for symmetric games with finitely …

Over the past 30 years, one of the most rapidly expanding areas in ecology has been the
development of structured population models, where individuals have attributes such as …

Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology,
Second Edition presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological …

Ecological theory predicts that animal movement is shaped by its efficiency of resource
acquisition. Focusing solely on efficiency, however, ignores the fact that animal activity can …

Our starting point is a selection–mutation equation describing the adaptive dynamics of a
quantitative trait under the influence of an ecological feedback loop. Based on the …
