A roadmap for ‘core concepts’ in evolutionary medicine
E volutionary perspectives are vital to tackling a wide range of health challenges in today’s world, including emerging infectious diseases, the evolution of antimicrobial resistance, increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases, the obesity epidemic, threats to food safety, neurodegenerative disease, cancer and more. To address this scope of diseases, evolutionary medicine is highly interdisci...
متن کاملAnthropological Evolutionary Ecology: A Critique
The goal of this paper is to critically evaluate Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology (AEE) as a paradigm by utilizing the method for theory framework developed by Pickett et al. (1994). While AEE can contribute in some ways to our understanding of human behavior through methods and techniques derived from neoDarwinian theory (as well as current approaches in animal behavior and decision theory...
متن کاملHigh-Throughput Sequencing: A Roadmap Toward Community Ecology
High-throughput sequencing is becoming increasingly important in microbial ecology, yet it is surprisingly under-used to generate or test biogeographic hypotheses. In this contribution, we highlight how adding these methods to the ecologist toolbox will allow the detection of new patterns, and will help our understanding of the structure and dynamics of diversity. Starting with a review of ecol...
متن کاملEvolutionary Ecology: Old Ideas Percolate into Ecology
A novel model derived from percolation theory suggests that phase polyphenism may have initially evolved in locusts as a behavioural strategy to reduce the connectivity between patches of vulnerable prey, so reducing predation risk.
متن کاملEpidemiology meets evolutionary ecology
The rapid expansion and increasing mobility of human populations make understanding the evolution of parasite virulence a public health priority. The potential for the swift evolution of virulence in response to changes in host ecology has motivated the integration of evolutionary ecology with epidemiological theory, as part of the emerging field of evolutionary epidemiology. Virulence is the p...
