Long X, Szekely T, Komdeur J, Weissing F
Am Nat . 2025 Feb; 205(2):E49-E65. PMID: 39913938
AbstractThe parental roles of males and females differ remarkably across the tree of life, and several studies suggest that parental sex roles are associated with biased sex ratios. However, there...

Alund M, McFarlane S, Husby A, Knape J, Part T, Sirkia P, et al.
Ecol Lett . 2024 Dec; 27(12):e14505. PMID: 39738984
Evolutionary adaptation occurs when individuals vary in access to fitness-relevant resources and these differences in 'material wealth' are heritable. It is typically assumed that the inheritance of material wealth reflects...

Bhatt D, Janzen T, Daemen T, Weissing F
Sci Rep . 2024 Nov; 14(1):28861. PMID: 39572761
Oncolytic virotherapy is a promising form of cancer treatment that uses viruses to infect and kill cancer cells. In addition to their direct effects on cancer cells, the viruses stimulate...

Romero-Mujalli D, Fuchs L, Haase M, Hildebrandt J, Weissing F, Revilla T
Evol Lett . 2024 Aug; 8(4):561-574. PMID: 39100234
Plasticity is found in all domains of life and is particularly relevant when populations experience variable environmental conditions. Traditionally, evolutionary models of plasticity are non-mechanistic: they typically view reactions norms...

Van Eldijk T, Sheridan E, Martin G, Weissing F, Kuipers O, van Doorn G
JAC Antimicrob Resist . 2024 Jun; 6(3):dlae085. PMID: 38847007
Objectives: Environmental conditions can influence mutation rates in bacteria. Fever is a common response to infection that alters the growth conditions of infecting bacteria. Here we examine how a temperature...

Kozielska M, Weissing F
PLoS Comput Biol . 2024 Jan; 20(1):e1011840. PMID: 38289971
Learning from past experience is an important adaptation and theoretical models may help to understand its evolution. Many of the existing models study simple phenotypes and do not consider the...

Rostovtseva V, Puurtinen M, Mendez Salinas E, Cox R, Groothuis A, Butovskaya M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2023 Nov; 13(1):19573. PMID: 37949973
Humans readily cooperate, even with strangers and without prospects of reciprocation. Despite thousands of studies, this finding is not well understood. Most studies focussed on a single aspect of cooperation...

Long X, Weissing F
Nat Commun . 2023 Oct; 14(1):6805. PMID: 37884497
The parental roles of males and females differ considerably between and within species. By means of individual-based evolutionary simulations, we strive to explain this diversity. We show that the conflict...

Kalita A, Marois E, Kozielska M, Weissing F, Jaouen E, Mockel M, et al.
Nature . 2023 Sep; 623(7985):175-182. PMID: 37769784
The Anopheles mosquito is one of thousands of species in which sex differences play a central part in their biology, as only females need a blood meal to produce eggs....

Borger M, Komdeur J, Richardson D, Weissing F
Behav Ecol . 2023 Sep; 34(5):850-861. PMID: 37744170
Quantifying fitness is important to understand adaptive evolution. Reproductive values are useful for making fitness comparisons involving different categories of individuals, like males and females. By definition, the reproductive value...
