Calls to understand the links between ecology and evolution have been common for decades. Population dynamics, i.e. the demographic changes in populations, arise from life history decisions of individuals and thus are a product of selection, and selection, on the contrary, can be modified by such dynamical properties of the population as density and stability. It follows that generating predict...

In a recent paper [PLB 837 (2023) 137669] we showed that all measured ($1s_\Lambda$, $1p_\Lambda$) pairs of $\Lambda$ binding energies in $\Lambda$-hypernuclei across the periodic table, $12\leq A \leq 208$, can be obtained from $\Lambda$-nucleus optical potential with only two adjustable $\Lambda N$ and NN$ parameters, associated leading linear quadratic terms nuclear density, derived by fitti...
