LEARNING, EVOLUTION AND POPULATION DYNAMICS [PDF]
Advances in Complex Systems, 2008 We study a complementarity game as a systematic tool for the investigation of the interplay between individual optimization and population effects and for the comparison of different strategy and learning schemes. The game randomly pairs players from opposite populations. It is symmetric at the individual level, but has many equilibria that are more or

Stratification in health and survival after age 100: evidence from Danish centenarians
BMC Geriatrics, 2021 Background The existence of a super-select group of centenarians that demonstrates increased survivorship has been hypothesized. However, it is unknown if this super-select group possesses similar characteristics apart from extreme longevity.

Evolutionary dynamics in structured populations [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Abstract Evolutionary dynamics shape the living world around us. At the centre of every evolutionary process is a population of reproducing individuals. The structure of that population affects evolutionary dynamics. The individuals can be molecules, cells, viruses, multicellular organisms or humans.

Modeling and forecasting sex differences in mortality: a sex-ratio approach
Genus, 2018 Female and male life expectancies have converged in most industrialized societies in recent decades. To achieve coherent forecasts between females and males, this convergence needs to be considered when forecasting sex-specific mortality.

BMJ Open, 2020 Introduction Previous studies have attempted to review the vast body of evidence on adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), but none has focused on a complete mapping and synthesis of the body of inquiry and evidence on ASRH in sub-Saharan ...

NONLINEAR RELAXATION IN POPULATION DYNAMICS [PDF]
Scaling and Disordered Systems, 2002 We analyze the nonlinear relaxation of a complex ecosystem composed of many interacting species. The ecological system is described by generalized Lotka-Volterra equations with a multiplicative noise. The transient dynamics is studied in the framework of the mean field theory and with random interaction between the species. We focus on the statistical

BMC Public Health, 2018 Background Reducing lifespan inequality is increasingly recognized as a health policy objective. Whereas lifespan inequality declined with rising longevity in most developed countries, Danish life expectancy stagnated between 1975 and 1995 for females ...

Dynamic computation of population protocols [PDF]
2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications, 2010 Population protocols provide theoretical foundations for mobile tiny device networks in which global behavior emerges from a set of simple interactions between anonymous agents. The works in this area mostly focus on studying the computational power of the model.

Why Do Herbivorous Mites Suppress Plant Defenses?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Plants have evolved numerous defensive traits that enable them to resist herbivores. In turn, this resistance has selected for herbivores that can cope with defenses by either avoiding, resisting or suppressing them. Several species of herbivorous mites,
