New: "Inclusive fitness: a scientific revolution" (#OpenAccess), with Antonio Rodrigues. research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/hand… #InclusiveFitness #KinSelection #Adaptation #Evolution #Image: app.wombo.art WOMBO

This is one of three contributions we are making to a forthcoming book, "Evolutionary biology: contemporary & historical reflections upon core theory" (TE Dickins & BJA Dickins, eds). The other two are: research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/hand… research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/hand… #OA @BSL_MDX Ben Dickins

Some shade thrown at the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) by Antonio Rodrigues & Andy Gardner, who argue that supposed deficiencies in the Modern Synthesis corrected by the EES (left) have long been core concerns of inclusive fitness theory (right): research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/hand…

Greatly enjoyed this paper by Stephen C. Stearns and Antonio Rodrigues on life history theory in Evolution and Human Behavior today: doi.org/10.1016/j.evol… A recommended read for anyone with a passing interest in the topic.

"We conclude that progress in evolutionary theory is facilitated by focusing research attention on areas where there is a relatively poor fit between theoretical predictions and empirical observations, rather than complexifying models in pursuit of extra realism for its own sake"
