Bloody‐minded parasites and sex: the effects of fluctuating virulence by Gibson, Amanda K., Stoy, Kayla S., Lively, Curtis M.

“…Asexual lineages can grow at a faster rate than sexual lineages. Why then is sexual reproduction so widespread? Much empirical evidence supports the Red Queen…”

The Persistence of Host-Symbiont Mutualism: Investigating the Roles of Genetic Variation, Coevolution, and Transmission Mode by Stoy, Kayla S

“…The persistence of host-symbiont mutualisms depends on the alignment of host and symbiont fitness interests. However, many mutualisms persist through…”

Adaptive radiation during the evolution of complex multicellularity by Stoy, Kayla S, Bingham, Emma, Burnetti, Anthony, Datta, Sayantan, Pineau, Rozenn, Peterson, Autumn, Ratcliff, William C

“…Abstract The evolution of multicellularity led to the origin of new kinds of organisms and, in several lineages, massive adaptive radiations through the…”
