The paper models the evolutionary dynamics of self-incompatibility and self-compatibility in plants, revealing a phase diagram with three mating modes and showing pollen limitation affects the stability of self-incompatibility.

The paper develops a theoretical framework to study how conflicting selection pressures shape amino acid frequencies in plant self-incompatibility proteins, showing asymmetric effects on female and male proteins.

This study develops a dynamic model to predict olive flowering based on winter temperature regimes, showing improved accuracy by considering temperature order rather than just total cold hours.

The paper revisits the relationship between gene regulation form and crosstalk, showing that an idle design minimizes crosstalk by reducing regulatory interference.
