SOCIAL FACILITATION OF SELECTIVE MORTALITY [PDF]
Ecology, 2007 Territorial defense by breeders influences access to resources near defended nest sites by intruder species and may have indirect effects on other species within the territory, leading to local patchiness in distribution patterns. The present study demonstrates that adult males of a damselfish, Pomacentrus amboinensis, indirectly facilitate the ...

Collusion-resistant Worker Selection in Social Crowdsensing Systems [PDF]
Computer and Knowledge Engineering, 2018 The main idea behind social crowdsensing is to leverage social friends as crowdworkers to participate in crowdsensing tasks. A main challenge, however, is the identification and recruitment of well-suited workers. This becomes especially more challenging

The nature and units of social selection [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Economics, 2006 On the basis of the technical definition of selection developed by George Price (1995), we describe two forms of selection that commonly occur at the social level, subset selection and generative selection. Both forms of selection are abstract and general, and therefore also incomplete; both leave aside the question of explaining the selection ...

Signal Traits and Oxidative Stress: A Comparative Study Across Populations with Divergent Signals
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Diverging populations often shift patterns of signal use – a process that can contribute to reproductive isolation and speciation. Yet it is not clear why most traits gain or lose signal value during divergence.

The Social Medium Selection Game [PDF]
, 2019 We consider in this paper competition of content creators in routing their content through various media. The routing decisions may correspond to the selection of a social network (e.g. twitter versus facebook or linkedin) or of a group within a given social network. The utility for a player to send its content to some medium is given as the difference
