In the supporting information we also derive from our equation some interesting models for density-dependence, social effects, and community ecology. #philbio #evobio #philscience

We got published in Ecology&Evolution! We propose an equation from which we derive the fundamental equations of population ecology and evolutionary biology (the Price equation). #evobio #philbio onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The Price equation provides a comprehensive representation of evolutionary processes. However, there is no consensus on the explanatory power of the equation. In this article we aim to clarify its place within modern evolutionary theory: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🎉 New: The Value of Price

We explore the role of the Price equation in evolutionary biology. We argue that, like Galilean kinematics, it is a phenomenological framework that unifies diverse fields by formalizing a shared explanandum.

What's the role of the Price equation within evolutionary theory? Is it a tautology? In our new article we argue that its role is analogous to that of Galilean kinematics in classical mechanics. #evolution #Priceequation #philsci #philbio link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I'd say Darwin's + some recipes (Lewontin's, Endler's...). And then use the Price equation to derive their specific equations: Robertson's theorem, Fisher's theorem, breeder's equation, etc. Thus you can see the scope and limitations of each recipe (inheritance mechanisms, other forces, etc.).
