Stability of Ecologically Scaffolded Traits During Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality

G. Doulcier, P. Takacs, K. Hammerschmidt, P. Bourrat

The paper investigates how traits developed under ecological scaffolding can persist after scaffolding conditions are removed, using mathematical models to identify conditions for endogenisation.

The Effect of Bottleneck Size on Evolution in Nested Darwinian Populations

M. C. Nitschke, A. Black, P. Bourrat, P. B. Rainey

This paper investigates how varying bottleneck sizes in nested Darwinian populations affect evolutionary dynamics, showing that larger bottlenecks can reverse evolutionary direction under certain conditions.

Tradeoff breaking as model of evolutionary transitions in individuality and the limits of the fitness decoupling metaphor

P. Bourrat, G. Doulcier, C. J. Rose, P. B. Rainey, K. Hammerschmidt

The paper shows that fitness decoupling in evolutionary transitions is impossible and proposes tradeoff-breaking as a better marker for these transitions.

Life history tradeoffs, division of labor and evolutionary transitions in individuality

G. Doulcier, K. Hammerschmidt, P. Bourrat

The paper presents a theoretical model examining how life-history tradeoffs influence reproductive division of labor during evolutionary transitions in individuality.

Ecological scaffolding and the evolution of individuality: the transition from cells to multicellular life

A. J. Black, P. Bourrat, P. B. Rainey

This paper uses mathematical models to show how ecological structures can scaffold evolutionary processes in cell collectives, leading to multicellular traits and reproductive division of labour.

Evolutionary Transitions in Heritability and Individuality

P. Bourrat

This paper presents a model to study the relationship between particle-level and collective-level heritability in evolutionary transitions in individuality, showing how population structure affects collective-level heritability and individuality.
