Fitness-based models and pairwise comparison models of evolutionary games are typically different—even in unstructured populations

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2015
The modeling of evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations requires microscopic processes that determine how strategies spread. The exact details of these processes are often chosen without much further consideration. Different types of microscopic

Modeling treatment-dependent glioma growth including a dormant tumor cell subpopulation

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2018
Background Tumors comprise a variety of specialized cell phenotypes adapted to different ecological niches that massively influence the tumor growth and its response to treatment.

How much does the unguarded X contribute to sex differences in life span?

open access: yesEvolution Letters, 2022
Females and males often have markedly different mortality rates and life spans, but it is unclear why these forms of sexual dimorphism evolve. The unguarded X hypothesis contends that dimorphic life spans arise from sex differences in X or Z chromosome ...

Dynamical trade-offs arise from antagonistic coevolution and decrease intraspecific diversity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
How a trait evolves depends on the shape of its fitness trade-off. Here, Huang et al. demonstrate evolution of trade-off shape in an experimental predator-prey system and develop a mathematical model of trait evolution when the underlying trade-off can ...

The Coherence of Evolutionary Theory with Its Neighboring Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Evolutionary theory coheres with its neighboring theories, such as the theory of plate tectonics, molecular biology, electromagnetic theory, and the germ theory of disease.

Escort Evolutionary Game Theory

open access: yes, 2012
A family of replicator-like dynamics, called the escort replicator equation, is constructed using information-geometric concepts and generalized information entropies and diverenges from statistical thermodynamics.

Antisocial rewarding in structured populations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Cooperation in collective action dilemmas usually breaks down in the absence of additional incentive mechanisms. This tragedy can be escaped if cooperators have the possibility to invest in reward funds that are shared exclusively among cooperators ...

Ecological Drivers of Community Cohesion

open access: yesmSystems, 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.

Doves and hawks in economics revisited. An evolutionary quantum game theory-based analysis of financial crises [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The last financial and economic crisis demonstrated the dysfunctional long-term effects of aggressive behaviour in financial markets. Yet, evolutionary game theory predicts that under the condition of strategic dependence a certain degree of aggressive ...
