In dialectical tension
The origins of the stochastic theory of population genetics
Sewall Wright, shifting balance theory, and the hardening of the modern synthesis
Sewall Wright and Gustave Malécot on Isolation by Distance
Sewall Wright and Gustave Malécot developed important theories of isolation by distance. Wright's theory was statistical and Malécot's probabilistic. Because of this mathematical difference, they were not clear about the relationship between their theories. In this paper, I make two points to clarify this relationship. First, I argue that Wright's theory concerns what I call ecological isolation by distance , whereas Malécot's concerns what I cal…
Patterns, Models, and Predictions
Robert MacArthur's mathematical ecology is often regarded as ahistorical and has been criticized by historically oriented ecologists and philosophers for ignoring the importance of history. I clarify and defend his approach, especially his use of simple mathematical models to explain patterns in data and to generate predictions that stimulate empirical research. First I argue that it is misleading to call his approach ahistorical because it is no…
