Corina Tarnita and I have discussed the relation between theoretical ecology and evolutionary game theory since my sabbatical in 2022. Now the paper is out, doi.org/10.1073/pnas... Cooperation in nature may not be mysterious when there are growth differences- questioning the notion of cooperation.

Nikhil Sharma shows that this leads to new classes of population structure and shows how deleterious mutations can impact adaptive evolution in a more general way - now out in Nature Communications, doi.org/10.1038/s414... 2/2

When a cell divides, which one is the mother and which one is the daughter? Models of network structured populations usually assume that the potentially mutated daughter cell is moving to an adjacent site, but what happens if we change that assumption? 1/2

In game theory, we often assume that people only interact in one game at a time. In a new paper, we explore theoretically and experimentally how people cooperate when they engage in two games concurrently, either with the same partner or with different partners, www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Finally appearing here, as I will close my Twitter account for obvious reasons. As there, my activity will be only sporadic.

Evolutionary Rescue - bridging the gap between theory and experiments IMPORTANT DATES Workshop: 30 June – 3 July, 2025 The workshop starts on June 30 at 5pm and ends on July 3 in the evening. Pre-school: June 29 (afternoon) & June 30, 2025 Registration deadline: 15 March, 2025 Notification of acceptance: 22 March, 2025 OVERVIEW Evolutionary rescue is a topic of great interest, from medicine to agriculture to conservation, and from natural observations to experiments to theory. In 2023, we organised a workshop on ‘Mathematical models of evolutionary rescue’. In...
