Who is afraid of modelling time as a continuous variable?

H Kokko - Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Most models of ecological and eco‐evolutionary processes involve creating trajectories of
something, be it population densities, average trait values, or environmental states, over …

Revisiting the number of self‐incompatibility alleles in finite populations: From old models to new results

P Czuppon, S Billiard - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Under gametophytic self‐incompatibility (GSI), plants are heterozygous at the self‐
incompatibility locus (S‐locus) and can only be fertilized by pollen with a different allele at …

Parthenogenesis and the Evolution of Anisogamy

GWA Constable, H Kokko - Cells, 2021 - mdpi.com
Recently, it was pointed out that classic models for the evolution of anisogamy do not take
into account the possibility of parthenogenetic reproduction, even though sex is facultative in …

Population structure can reduce clonal interference when sexual reproduction and dispersal are synchronized

Q Liu, DB Weissman - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
In populations with limited recombination, clonal interference among beneficial mutations
limits the maximum rate of adaptation. Spatial structure slows the spread of beneficial …

The evolution of parthenogen fertilization rates in switching environments: from facultative cell-fusion to oogamy

X Liu, J Pitchford, GWA Constable - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Organisms with external fertilisation exhibit a broad range of reproductive modes, from
simple parthenogenesis to sexual reproduction encompassing isogamy, anisogamy, and …

Parthenogenesis, sexual conflict and the evolution of oogamy

X Liu, JW Pitchford, GWA Constable - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Organisms with external fertilization exhibit a variety of reproductive modes, from simple
parthenogenesis to isogamy, anisogamy and oogamy. Here, we develop a mathematical …

Stochasticity and randomness in eco-evolutionary modelling

X Liu - 2024 - etheses.whiterose.ac.uk
Evolution is an inherently stochastic process comprised of many randomly occurring events.
The evolutionary fate of a population depends largely on its underlying ecological …

Genetic diversity in facultatively sexual populations and its implications for the origins of self-incompatibility in algae and fungi

ASA Smith, S Penington, I Letter, DB Wilson… - bioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
The evolutionary mechanism that drove the establishment of self-incompatibility in early
sexual eukaryotes is still a debated topic. While a number of competing hypotheses have …
