Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2001 Nov;
98(23):13189-94.
PMID: 11687618
The "costly signaling" hypothesis proposes that animal signals are kept honest by appropriate signal costs. We show that to the contrary, signal cost is unnecessary for honest signaling even when...

Genetics
. 2000 Aug;
155(4):1505-19.
PMID: 10924453
Despite the near-ubiquity of plasmids in bacterial populations and the profound contribution of infectious gene transfer to the adaptation and evolution of bacteria, the mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of...

Levin B, Bergstrom C
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2000 Jun;
97(13):6981-5.
PMID: 10860960
To some extent, the genetic theory of adaptive evolution in bacteria is a simple extension of that developed for sexually reproducing eukaryotes. In other, fundamental ways, the process of adaptive...

Lipsitch M, Bergstrom C, Levin B
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2000 Mar;
97(4):1938-43.
PMID: 10677558
A simple mathematical model of bacterial transmission within a hospital was used to study the effects of measures to control nosocomial transmission of bacteria and reduce antimicrobial resistance in nosocomial...

Bergstrom C, McElhany P, Real L
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 1999 Apr;
96(9):5095-100.
PMID: 10220424
Transmission bottlenecks occur in pathogen populations when only a few individual pathogens are transmitted from one infected host to another in the initiation of a new infection. Transmission bottlenecks can...

Robson A, Bergstrom C, Pritchard J
J Theor Biol
. 1999 Apr;
197(4):541-56.
PMID: 10196096
Patterns of reproductive uncertainty can have an important influence on population dynamics. There is a crucial distinction between what we describe here as aggregate uncertainty (in which reproductive output in...

Lachmann M, Bergstrom C
Theor Popul Biol
. 1998 Sep;
54(2):146-60.
PMID: 9733656
Models of costly signalling are commonly employed in evolutionary biology in order to explain how honest communication between individuals with conflicting interests can be stable. These models have focused primarily...

Bergstrom C, Pritchard J
Genetics
. 1998 Aug;
149(4):2135-46.
PMID: 9691064
Several features of the biology of mitochondria suggest that mitochondria might be susceptible to Muller's ratchet and other forms of evolutionary degradation: Mitochondria have predominantly uniparental inheritance, appear to be...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 1998 Jun;
95(9):5100-5.
PMID: 9560235
The Sir Philip Sidney game has been used by numerous authors to show how signal cost can facilitate honest signaling among relatives. Here, we demonstrate that, in this game, honest...
