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

Social conflicts in Dictyostelium discoideum : a matter of scales
Peer Community Journal, 2021 The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum, where aggregation of genetically heterogeneous cells produces functional collective structures, epitomizes social conflicts associated with multicellular organization.

PALEONTOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY THEORY [PDF]
Evolution, 1974 In the introduction to the recently published collection Models in Paleobiology, Schopf (1972, p. 4) says, "We look with awe at the results which have followed the application of fundamental chemistry in a geochemical context, and the use of cartesian methodology in molecular biology.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
