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...

How (not) to Talk to a Plant: An Application of Automata Theory to Plant Communication - Acta Biotheoretica Plants are capable of a range of complex interactions with the environment. Over the last decade, some authors have used this as evidence to argue that plants are cognitive agents. While there is no c...

🎉 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.
