We got published in Ecology&Evolution! We propose an equation from which we derive the fundamental equations of population ecology and evolutionary biology (the Price equation). #evobio #philbio onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🎉 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.

What's the role of the Price equation within evolutionary theory? Is it a tautology? In our new article we argue that its role is analogous to that of Galilean kinematics in classical mechanics. #evolution #Priceequation #philsci #philbio link.springer.com/article/10.1...
