What can we learn from disruptions of seasonal patterns of disease during the pandemic? A new paper by @michaelsieber.bsky.social in PLOS Global Public Health, journals.plos.org/globalpublic..., was featured in the German news such as @zeit.de or @spiegel.de - and may be of interest also here. 1/3

Shifts in seasonal timing of respiratory diseases and causes of death following a natural pandemic event

Seasonal respiratory infections typically surge within a limited time window, but what determines the exact timing within a given year is not well understood. Major causes of death show a similar seas...

Corina Tarnita and I have discussed the relation between theoretical ecology and evolutionary game theory since my sabbatical in 2022. Now the paper is out, doi.org/10.1073/pnas... Cooperation in nature may not be mysterious when there are growth differences- questioning the notion of cooperation.

Evolutionary game theory (EGT)—overwhelmingly employed today for the study of cooperation in various systems, from microbes to cancer and from inse...

Nikhil Sharma shows that this leads to new classes of population structure and shows how deleterious mutations can impact adaptive evolution in a more general way - now out in Nature Communications, doi.org/10.1038/s414... 2/2

Graph-structured populations elucidate the role of deleterious mutations in long-term evolution - Nature Communications

In birth-death models, the evolution of spatially structured populations is impacted by the order of birth and death events. Here, the authors demonstrate that moving the parent to a vacant site leads...

When a cell divides, which one is the mother and which one is the daughter? Models of network structured populations usually assume that the potentially mutated daughter cell is moving to an adjacent site, but what happens if we change that assumption? 1/2

Join us for the second Evolutionary Rescue workshop at Max Planck Institute, Germany, from June 30 to July 3, 2024. Registration is open until March 15. More info: https://workshops.evolbio.mpg.de/event/128/ #workshop

Evolutionary Rescue - bridging the gap between theory and experiments

IMPORTANT DATES Workshop: 30 June – 3 July, 2025 The workshop starts on June 30 at 5pm and ends on July 3 in the evening. Pre-school: June 29 (afternoon) & June 30, 2025 Registration deadline: 15 March, 2025 Notification of acceptance: 22 March, 2025 OVERVIEW Evolutionary rescue is a topic of great interest, from medicine to agriculture to conservation, and from natural observations to experiments to theory. In 2023, we organised a workshop on ‘Mathematical models of evolutionary rescue’. In...
