Understanding the adaptations that allow species to live in temporally variable environments
is essential for predicting how they may respond to future environmental change. Variation …

The debate over the role of stochasticity is central in evolutionary biology, often summarised
by whether or not evolution is predictable or repeatable. Here we distinguish three types of …

We present a general framework for modelling adaptive trait dynamics in which we integrate
various concepts and techniques from modern ESS-theory. The concept of evolutionarily …

We present a formal framework for modeling evolutionary dynamics with special emphasis
on the generation of diversity through branching of the evolutionary tree. Fitness is defined …

We present a model for the evolutionary dynamics of seed size when there is a trade-off
between seed size and seed number, and seedlings from large seeds are better competitors …

We demonstrate how a genetic polymorphism of distinctly different alleles can develop
during long‐term frequency‐dependent evolution in an initially monomorphic diploid …

The evolution of dispersal is investigated in a landscape of many patches with fluctuating
carrying capacities and spatial heterogeneity in temporal fluctuations. Although …

Epidemiological models generally explore the evolution of parasite life-history traits, namely,
virulence and transmission, against a background of constant host life-history traits …

Matrix game theory and optimisation models offer two radically different perspectives on the
outcome of evolution. Optimisation models consider frequency-independent selection and …

Adaptation to an environment consisting of two patches (each with different optimal strategy)
is investigated. The patches have independent density regulation ('soft selection'). If the …
