Caste and ecology in the social insects.
TLDR
In this pathbreaking and far-reaching work George Oster and Edward Wilson provide the first fully developed theory of caste evolution among the social insects and construct a series of mathematical models to characterize the agents of natural selection that promote particular caste systems.

Size and shape in ontogeny and phylogeny
TLDR
A quantitative method is presented for describing how heterochronic changes in ontogeny relate to phyletic trends and a greatly simplified and logical scheme of classification is obtained that will be particularly useful in studying the data of paleontology and comparative morphology and in the analysis of processes leading to adaptive radiation.

Bifurcations and Dynamic Complexity in Simple Ecological Models
TLDR
It is shown that as a hump steepens, the dynamics goes from a stable point, to a bifurcating hierarchy of stable cycles of period 2n, into a region of chaotic behavior where the population exhibits an apparently random sequence of "outbreaks" followed by "crashes".

The Mechanochemistry of Endocytosis
An integrated theoretical model reveals how the chemical and the mechanical aspects of endocytosis are coordinated coherently in yeast cells, driving progression through the endocytic pathway and…

Mechanical aspects of mesenchymal morphogenesis.
TLDR
A model for the cumulative effects of cell-generated forces is developed and shown how they can lead to the formation of regular large-scale patterns in cell populations, leading to several predictions concerning the effects of cellular and matrix properties on the resulting patterns.
