Continuous limits of large plant-pollinator random networks and some applications
Sylvain Billiard, Hélène Leman, Thomas Rey +1
We study a stochastic individual-based model of interacting plant and pollinator species through a bipartite graph: each species is a node of the graph, an edge representing intera…
A paradigm shift, or a paradigm adjustment? The evolution of the Oleaceae mating system as a small-scale Kuhnian case-study
A. Francq, P. Saumitou-Laprade, P. Vernet +1
Kuhn (1962) proposed an evolutionary model to explain how scientific knowledge is built, based on the concept of paradigm. Even though Kuhn's model is general, it has been applied…
Convergence of knowledge in a cultural evolution model with population structure, random social learning and credibility biases
Sylvain Billiard, Maxime Derex, Ludovic Maisonneuve +1
Understanding how knowledge is created and propagates within groups is crucial to explain how human populations have evolved through time. Anthropologists have relied on different…
Inference with selection, varying population size and evolving population structure: Application of ABC to a forward-backward coalescent process with interactions
Clotilde Lepers, Sylvain Billiard, Matthieu Porte +2
Genetic data are often used to infer demographic history and changes or detect genes under selection. Inferential methods are commonly based on models making various strong assumpt…
Identifying conversion efficiency as a key mechanism underlying food webs evolution : a step forward, or backward ?
Coralie Fritsch, Sylvain Billiard, Nicolas Champagnat
Body size or mass is one of the main factors underlying food webs structure. A large number of evolutionary models have shown that indeed, the adaptive evolution of body size (or m…
Rejuvenating functional responses with renewal theory
S. Billiard, V. Bansaye, J. -R. Chazottes
Functional responses are widely used to describe interactions and resources exchange between individuals in ecology. The form given to functional responses dramatically affects the…
