Suppression force-fields and diffuse competition: competition de-escalation is an evolutionarily stable strategy [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Competition theory is founded on the premise that individuals benefit from harming their competitors, which helps them secure resources and prevent inhibition by neighbours.

Assessing the link among laterality, sex and competitiveness to verify the evolutionarily stable strategy of handedness [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAbout 90% of humans are right-handers, and some evolutionary theories explain this asymmetry as an advantage at the population level, with right-handers having advantages in cooperative behaviours and left-handers (particularly males) having advantages ...

Evolutionary path from a prisoner’s dilemma to a harmony game via hawk–dove games [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn most evolutionary matrix game models, the payoffs are assumed to be constant. Here, we develop a toy model of hunting in pairs in which interaction outcomes are determined not only by the behavioural strategy choice of the players but also a second ...

Strategic latency with temporal mutualism: a coevolutionary model of the host–varicella-zoster virus relationship [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyAfter primary infection with varicella, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) establishes a latent state that precedes the clinical manifestation of herpes zoster.

Allelopathy as an evolutionary game
Plant Direct, 2022 In plants, most competition is resource competition, where one plant simply preempts the resources away from its neighbors. Interference competition, as the name implies, is a form of direct interference to prevent resource access.

Social navigation hypothesis of depressive disorder disproven
Middle East Current Psychiatry, 2023 Background Evolutionary psychiatry tries to explain paradoxical high psychiatric disorders and symptoms prevalence by means of evolutionary biology, but testing their hypotheses is often problematic.

Evolutionarily stable dispersal strategies [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1980 Abstract Using the idea that life-history parameters are subject to natural selection and should approach values that are stable optima, with the population immune to invasion by mutant individuals, we derive an analytic expression for the evolutionarily stable dispersal rate in a stochastic island model with random site extinction.
