 | Seger, Jon | Intraspecific resource competition as a cause of sympatric speciation | [In most models of speciation], the fitness value of an animal is determined by the genotype it has, and the habitat in which it lives. In a more realistic model it should also depend on how much necessary resource is available for the animal and the competition from other genotypes for this resourc... | Phenotype; Models; Species | 1985 |

 | Plutynski, Anya | Modeling evolution in theory and practice | This paper uses a number of examples of diverse types and functions of models in evolutionary biology to argue that the demarcation between theory and practice, or "theory model" and "data model." is often difficult to make. It is shown how both mathematical and laboratory models function as plausib... | Models; Theory; Data; Evolutionary biology | 2001 |
