To Sweave, or not to Sweave, that is the question
I am about to start writing up the manuscript of my recent biomath seminar (Act 3: Pineda-Krch. 2011. Cycles at the edge of existence: Emergence of quasi-cycles in strongly destabilized ecosystems.). While the slides for the talk were put together using … Continue reading

New paper: Phenotypic plasticity
The proofs are done so I assume this is now officially in press to appear in the Encyclopedia of Theoretical Ecology (eds. Hastings & Gross) by California University Press. The book is slated to appear in May 2012 and at … Continue reading

Peer reviewed quote of the day
“Just as the corner grocery store lacks variety as compared with a supermarket, so very small populations lack genetic variety (and therefore evolutionary potential) as compared with larger ones.” – Alfred G. Fischer Fischer, A.G. 1960. Latitudinal variation in organic … Continue reading

(everybody shout) SHOW ME THE DATA: A presubmission inquiry in one-act
Some Open Access journals require presubmission inquiries. Most of them require you to write a sort of mini-paper of your full paper, you send it to them and then the editor gives you their (virtual) thumbs up or down for … Continue reading

Migrating to Nature Precedings
Over the last week I have been migrating most of my public presentations and posters to Nature Precedings (NP). Until now I have always been hosting these on my own servers, but it gets tedious when one (or the server) … Continue reading

New paper: Fluctuating Population Dynamics Promotes the Evolution of Phenotypic Plasticity
This just came out in the American Naturalist… Fluctuating Population Dynamics Promotes the Evolution of Phenotypic Plasticity Richard Svanbäck, Mario Pineda‐Krch and Michael Doebeli Abstract: Theoretical and empirical studies are showing evidence in support of evolutionary branching and sympatric speciation due to frequency‐dependent … Continue reading

The art of manuscript mashing
Carlo Artieri of The Musings of a Mad Biologist has a post today about Manuscript mashing!, i.e. the art of actually writing a manuscript. The post provides a candid description of how one can (or, in my opinion, should) go … Continue reading

Two new theoretical journals
There are two new journals on the block that should be of interest to ecology-evolutionary-theory minded folks. Theoretical Ecology with Alan Hastings as the Editor in Chief. A few phrases from its aims and scope that caught my attention are; … Continue reading
