Introspection dynamics: a simple model of counterfactual learning in asymmetric games
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Social behavior in human and animal populations can be studied as an evolutionary process. Individuals often make decisions between different strategies, and those strategies that yield a fitness advantage tend to spread.

Heterogeneous individual motility biases group composition in a model of aggregating cells
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Aggregative life cycles are characterized by alternating phases of unicellular growth and multicellular development. Their multiple, independent evolutionary emergence suggests that they may have coopted pervasive properties of single-celled ancestors ...

Evolutionary game theory [PDF]
Current Biology, 1999 We have so far discussed the evolution of frequencies of traits under selection alone. But, in addition, mutation will introduce new variants from time to time. This proceeds at another time scale. Game theory can be used to analyse both short-term and long-term evolution.

Collective narratives catalyse cooperation
Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2022 Humans invest in fantastic stories—mythologies. Recent evolutionary theories suggest that cultural selection may favour moralising stories that motivate prosocial behaviours.

Single-cell phenotypic plasticity modulates social behavior in Dictyostelium discoideum
iScience, 2023 Summary: In Dictyostelium chimeras, “cheaters” are strains that positively bias their contribution to the pool of spores, i.e., the reproductive cells resulting from development.

Immediate action is the best strategy when facing uncertain climate change
Nature Communications, 2018 Reducing the adverse effects of climate change triggered by human activity requires cooperation on a global scale. Modelling this challenge as an evolutionary game shows that the emerging contributions of selfish players depend strongly on the risk ...

Pluralism in evolutionary theory [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2005 The review by Waxman and Gavrilets illustrates the collision of different mindsets in evolutionary theory. These differences originate from the awe-inspiring complexity of the evolutionary process itself: evolutionary understanding critically depends on processes at many biological levels.

How many samples are needed to infer truly clonal mutations from heterogenous tumours?
BMC Cancer, 2019 Background Modern cancer treatment strategies aim to target tumour specific genetic (or epigenetic) alterations. Treatment response improves if these alterations are clonal, i.e. present in all cancer cells within tumours.

Ecological Drivers of Community Cohesion
mSystems, 2023 From protocellular to societal, networks of living systems are complex and multiscale. Discerning the factors that facilitate assembly of these intricate interdependencies using pairwise interactions can be nearly impossible.
