Evolutionary games of multiplayer cooperation on graphs

This paper analyzes multiplayer cooperation games on graphs, deriving analytical conditions for cooperation and showing that spatial structure can promote cooperation, though approximations vary with graph complexity.

Chaotic provinces in the kingdom of the Red Queen

This study examines Red Queen dynamics with multiple host and parasite types, showing chaotic behavior even with two species when more than two types are considered per species.

Should tissue structure suppress or amplify selection to minimize cancer risk?

The paper examines whether tissue structure suppresses or amplifies selection to minimize cancer risk, finding that the distribution of mutant fitness effects determines the optimal tissue architecture.

Haplotype block dynamics in hybrid populations

The paper models the dynamics of haplotype block accumulation in hybrid populations over time, considering both continuous and discrete chromosomes.

How life history can sway the fixation probability of mutants

This study shows that mutant fixation probability can have a maximum or minimum in populations with intermediate young individual fractions, highlighting the role of life history and demographic structure in evolutionary dynamics.

Estimating stem cell fractions in hierarchically organized tumors

The paper develops a mathematical model to estimate cancer stem cell fractions in tumors using tumor size measurements and linear regression, without requiring detailed microscopic data.

Ordering structured populations in multiplayer cooperation games

The paper introduces two orders to compare population structures in multiplayer cooperation games and shows how they determine the promotion of cooperation.

Host-parasite coevolution in populations of constant and variable size

This paper analyzes host-parasite coevolution dynamics in populations of constant and variable size, showing complex oscillation patterns that challenge simple Red Queen dynamics.

Evolving synergetic interactions

This paper presents a mathematical model showing how synergetic multiplayer interactions can emerge from pairwise interactions through non-uniform breaking rates in social groups.

Stochastic evolutionary games in dynamic populations

This paper introduces a stochastic model that combines frequency dependent selection and demographic fluctuations to study population dynamics in evolutionary games.

Evolutionary Multiplayer Games

This paper reviews multiplayer evolutionary games and their applications in ecology, social sciences, and population genetics, highlighting their ability to model non-linearities in complex systems.
