Abstract: OBJECTIVE This study tests the hypothesis that natural selection is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D)-associated mortality and fertility in a rural isolated Zapotec community in the Valley of Oaxaca, southern Mexico. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8567
Abstract: Abstract Sexually selected traits may also be subject to non‐sexual selection. If optimal trait values depend on environmental conditions, then “narrow sense” (i.e., non‐sexual) natural selection can lead to local adaptation, with fitness in a… read more here.

Color polymorphism in the Cuban endemic livebearing fish Limia vittata (Teloestei, Poeciliidae): Potential roles of sexual and natural selection

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9768
Abstract: Abstract Color polymorphism can be maintained in natural populations by natural selection or sexual selection. In this study, we use two different approaches to test which of these evolutionary mechanisms may explain the presence of… read more here.

Natural selection rules: new positivity bounds for massive spinning particles

DOI: 10.1007/jhep02(2022)167
Abstract: Abstract We derive new effective field theory (EFT) positivity bounds on the elastic 2 → 2 scattering amplitudes of massive spinning particles from the standard UV properties of unitarity, causality, locality and Lorentz invariance. By… read more here.

Assessment of the potential role of natural selection in type 2 diabetes and related traits across human continental ancestry groups: comparison of phenotypic with genotypic divergence

DOI: 10.1007/s00125-020-05272-8
Abstract: Prevalence of type 2 diabetes differs among human ancestry groups, and many hypotheses invoke differential natural selection to account for these differences. We sought to assess the potential role of differential natural selection across major… read more here.

Abstract: The recently elucidated definition of fitness employed by Fisher in his fundamental theorem of natural selection is combined with reproductive values as appropriately defined in the context of both random environments and continuing fluctuations in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11538-019-00592-2
Abstract: Evolutionary game theory has been used extensively to study single games as applied to cancer, including in the context of metabolism, development of resistance, and even games between tumor and treatment. However, the situation when… read more here.

Abstract: Natural selection is often envisaged as the ultimate cause of the apparent rationality exhibited by organisms in their specific habitat. Given the equivalence between selection and rationality as maximizing processes, one would indeed expect organisms… read more here.
