Common Ancestry and Natural Selection
We explore the evidential relationships that connect two standard claims of modern evolutionary biology. The hypothesis of common ancestry (which says that all organisms now on earth trace back to a single progenitor) and the hypothesis of natural selection (which says that natural selection has been an important influence on the traits exhibited by organisms) are logically independent; however, this leaves open whether testing one requires assum…
Sex Ratios
Covering sex allocation, sex determination and operational sex ratios, this multi-author volume provides both a conceptual context and an instruction in methods for many aspects of sex ratio research. Theory, statistical analysis and genetics are each explained and discussed in the first three sections. The remaining chapters each focus on research in one of a wide spectrum of animal, plant and microbial taxa, including sex ratio distorting bacte…
A Critical Assessment of Levins's The Strategy of Model Building in Population Biology (1966)
Richard Levins's 1966 article "The strategy of model building in population biology" is an extremely influential analysis of the nature of scientific model building. His claims that model building involves a necessary trade-off among generality, realism and precision, and that truths about nature can be revealed by finding "robust theorems" are important and deserve careful scrutiny. We clarify the concepts of generality, realism and precision an…
