Slides and notes from a journal club discussion I led on fundamental models in ecology and evolution with the Svensson Lab at Lund University. We walked through birth-death models and the Price equation, and discussed a recent effort to unite ecology and evolution by Duthie and Luque (2025). Brad Duthie has a nice blog post on the ideas behind the paper.
