Integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics into matrix population models for structured populations: Discrete and continuous frameworks

A Bukkuri, JS Brown - Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
State‐structured populations are ubiquitous in biology, from the age‐structure of animal
societies to the life cycles of parasitic species. Understanding how this structure contributes …

The contribution of evolvability to the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of competing species

A Bukkuri, KJ Pienta, SR Amend, RH Austin… - Ecology and …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
