Our review
Provides a formal framework (MVEE) for integrating multilevel selection, phenotypic plasticity, and eco-evo-devo in evolutionary studies.
Strengths
- Formalizes variational methods for evolutionary modeling.
- Integrates interdisciplinary data from biology, social sciences, and computation.
- Addresses multilevel selection and open-ended evolution.
- Applicable to diverse evolutionary systems.
Limitations
- Requires substantial domain knowledge in evolutionary theory.
- May be too abstract for empirical applications without adaptation.
- Not a software tool but a conceptual framework.
Use when developing or analyzing models that span multiple levels of evolutionary organization.
Avoid when a simple single-level evolutionary model suffices or when detailed empirical data is lacking.
