Individual variation evades the Prisoner's Dilemma [PDF]
, 2002 Background The Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) is a widely used paradigm to study cooperation in evolutionary biology, as well as in fields as diverse as moral philosophy, sociology, economics and politics. Players are typically assumed to have fixed payoffs for

Mutualism benefits and the evolution of an interspecific sentry call in associations between Sociable Weavers and Fork-tailed Drongos [PDF]
, 2013 Mutualisms, where organisms benefit from cooperation, are common in nature, but payoffs are dynamic and mutualists can incur costs as well as benefits from their association.

Studying Plant–Rhizobium Mutualism in the Biology Classroom
The American Biology Teacher, 2014 We present a guided-inquiry biology lesson, using the plant–rhizobium symbiosis as a model system. This system provides a rich environment for developing connections between the big ideas in biology as outlined in the College Board’s new AP Biology Curriculum.

Investigations into stability in the fig/ fig-wasp mutualism [PDF]
, 2010 Fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) are involved in an obligate mutualism where each partner relies on the other in order to reproduce: the pollinating fig wasps are a fig tree’s only pollen disperser ...

Caterpillars and fungal pathogens: two co-occurring parasites of an ant-plant mutualism [PDF]
, 2011 In mutualisms, each interacting species obtains resources from its partner that it would obtain less efficiently if alone, and so derives a net fitness benefit.

Guest editorial: mutual relationship between vascular biology and hematology [PDF]
International Journal of Hematology, 2012 Vascular biology has rapidly progressed in a molecular level since the identification of growth factors regulating blood vessel formation in the mid-1990s. In contrast to hematology, in which cytokines involved in the development and proliferation of hematopoietic cells (HCs) were first identified and analyzed in the 1980s, vascular biology has a short

The paradox of cooperation among selfish cancer cells
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 It is traditionally assumed that during cancer development, tumor cells abort their initially cooperative behavior (i.e., cheat) in favor of evolutionary strategies designed solely to enhance their own fitness (i.e., a “selfish” life style) at the ...

Ants sow the seeds of global diversification in flowering plants [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The extraordinary diversification of angiosperm plants in the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods has produced an estimated 250,000–300,000 living angiosperm species and has fundamentally altered terrestrial ecosystems.
