Evolutionary Dynamics

Evolutionary Dynamics is the study of how evolution operates over time, focusing on the mechanisms that drive changes in populations. It explores how traits become more or less common based on factors like reproduction, survival, and genetic variation. By using mathematical models and simulations, researchers analyze how these dynamics shape species, behaviors, and interactions within ecosystems. This field combines concepts from biology, mathematics, and ecology to understand not just how species evolve, but also how ideas, technologies, and diseases spread and change over time in various contexts, including social and cultural settings.
