The first comprehensive graduate-level introduction to stochastic thermodynamics
Stochastic thermodynamics is a well-defined subfield of statistical physics that aims to …

Cellular populations in both nature and the laboratory are composed of phenotypically
heterogeneous individuals that compete with each other resulting in complex population …

We have shown recently that a Markov process conditioned on rare events involving time-
integrated random variables can be described in the long-time limit by an effective Markov …

We derived a new speed limit in population dynamics, which is a fundamental limit on the
evolutionary rate. By splitting the contributions of selection and mutation to the evolutionary …

Using a population dynamics inspired by an ensemble of growing cells, a set of fluctuation
theorems linking observables measured at the lineage and population levels is derived. One …

Phenotypic selection occurs when genetically identical cells are subject to different
reproductive abilities due to cellular noise. Such noise arises from fluctuations in reactions …

Phenotype switching with and without sensing environment is a common strategy of
organisms to survive in a fluctuating environment. Understanding the evolutionary …

We construct a pathwise formulation of a growing population of cells, based on two different
samplings of lineages within the population, namely the forward and backward samplings …

We report that population dynamics in fluctuating environments is characterized by a
mathematically equivalent structure to steady-state thermodynamics. By employing the …

Phenotypic variability in a population of cells can work as the bet-hedging of the cells under
an unpredictably changing environment, the typical example of which is the bacterial …
