Changes in gene regulation level have long been thought to play an important role in evolution and speciation, especially in primates. Over the past decade, comparative genomic studies have revealed extensive inter-species differences in gene expression levels yet we know much less about the extent ...

We are using a minimal model of interacting multispecies ecological communities that incorporates competition, immigration, and demographic noise. Importantly, the dynamics of the system are described by a birth-death process with interactions, whereby the abundance (the number of individuals) of an...
