DOI: 10.1007/s00285-019-01382-z
Abstract: AbstractAgeing’s sensitivity to natural selection has long been discussed because of its apparent negative effect on an individual’s fitness. Thanks to the recently described (Smurf) 2-phase model of ageing (Tricoire and Rera in PLoS ONE… read more here.

Transient analysis of a subcritical reactor core with a MOX-Fuel using the birth-and-death model
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Nuclear Engineering and Technology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.net.2020.11.023
Abstract: Abstract The operation of the nuclear reactor requires accurate and fast methods and techniques for analysing its kinetics. These techniques become even more important when the MOX-fuel is used due to the lower value of… read more here.

On the age of a randomly picked individual in a linear birth-and-death process

DOI: 10.1017/jpr.2018.7
Abstract: Abstract We consider the distribution of the age of an individual picked uniformly at random at some fixed time in a linear birth-and-death process. By exploiting a bijection between the birth-and-death tree and a contour… read more here.

Exponential convergence to a quasi-stationary distribution for birth–death processes with an entrance boundary at infinity

DOI: 10.1017/jpr.2021.100
Abstract: Abstract We study the quasi-stationary behavior of the birth–death process with an entrance boundary at infinity. We give by the h-transform an alternative and simpler proof for the exponential convergence of conditioned distributions to a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0092489
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a simplicial susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model with birth and death to describe epidemic spreading based on group interactions, accompanying with birth and death. The site-based evolutions are formulated by the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcaa169
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS The Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene family, encoding ribosomal RNA (rRNA), has long be regarded as an archetypal example in illustrating the model of concerted evolution. However, controversy is arising, as rDNA within… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty337
Abstract: Motivation: Inferring the rates of change of a population from a reconstructed phylogeny of genetic sequences is a central problem in macro‐evolutionary biology, epidemiology and many other disciplines. A popular solution involves estimating the parameters… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Genome Biology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evz094
Abstract: Abstract The birth-and-death evolutionary model proposes that some members of a multigene family are phylogenetically stable and persist as a single copy over time, whereas other members are phylogenetically unstable and undergo frequent duplication and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msz132
Abstract: The cnidarian Nematostella vectensis has become an established lab model, providing unique opportunities for venom evolution research. The Nematostella venom system is multimodal: involving both nematocytes and ectodermal gland cells, which produce a toxin mixture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syab049
Abstract: Birth-death stochastic processes are the foundation of many phylogenetic models and are widely used to make inferences about epidemiological and macroevolutionary dynamics. There are a large number of birth-death model variants that have been developed;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syac037
Abstract: Abstract Phylodynamic models generally aim at jointly inferring phylogenetic relationships, model parameters, and more recently, the number of lineages through time, based on molecular sequence data. In the fields of epidemiology and macroevolution, these models… read more here.
