Aspects common to all models All models share the same stochastic, time-since-infection transmission process8,58: each infected individual makes infectious contacts at a rate described by a function βω(τ), where the total infectivity β depends on the ages of the infector and the other contacted person, as well as on the environment (i.e., within or outside […] More
Eco-evolutionary games First we describe a general framework for modeling eco-evolutionary feedbacks, and then we analyze linear two-strategy eco-evolutionary games. We characterize the range of possible dynamical behaviors in these systems, and we apply this analysis to several case studies drawn from a range of disciplines. Eco-evolutionary games occur when evolutionary game dynamics are environmentally […] More
CAREER COLUMN 14 February 2020 Gabriel Waksman found a personal way to overcome his eco-anxiety and combat his carbon emissions — by planting native woodlands.

Origin of Amoebophrya strains and single infected dinoflagellate cells We based our analyses either on Amoebophrya strains or directly on infected host cells isolated by micromanipulation from environmental samples (hereafter called single-cells). Strains and single-cells were isolated during monitoring for the toxic dinoflagellate species Alexandrium minutum. Monitoring was performed over five years (2007, 2009, 2010–2012) […] More
