Digital contact tracing/notification for SARS-CoV-2: navigating six points of failure
Joanna Masel, James Petrie, Jason Bay +5
Digital contact tracing/notification was initially hailed as a promising strategy to combat SARS-CoV-2, but in most jurisdictions it did not live up to its promise. To avert a give…
Predicting patterns of long-term adaptation and extinction with population genetics
Jason Bertram, Kevin Gomez, Joanna Masel
Population genetics struggles to model extinction; standard models track the relative rather than absolute fitness of genotypes, while the exceptions describe only the short-term t…
Eco-evolutionary "fitness" in 3 dimensions: absolute growth, absolute efficiency, and relative competitiveness
Joanna Masel
Competitions can occur on an absolute scale, to be faster or more efficient, or they can occur on a relative scale, to "beat" one's competitor in a zero-sum game. Ecological models…
Cryptic Genetic Variation Can Make Irreducible Complexity a Common Mode of Adaptation
Meredith V. Trotter, Daniel B. Weissman, Grant I. Peterson +2
The existence of complex (multiple-step) genetic adaptations that are "irreducible" (i.e., all partial combinations are less fit than the original genotype) is one of the longest s…
Compensatory evolution and the origins of innovations
Etienne Rajon, Joanna Masel
Cryptic genetic sequences have attenuated effects on phenotypes. In the classic view, relaxed selection allows cryptic genetic diversity to build up across individuals in a populat…
