The Economic Consequences of Social Network Structure
We survey the literature on the economic consequences of the structure of social networks. We develop a taxonomy of ‘macro’ and ‘micro’ characteristics of social interaction networks and discuss both the theoretical and empirical findings concerning the role of those characteristics in determining learning, diffusion, decisions, and resulting behaviors. We also discuss the challenges of account...
متن کاملOn some genetic consequences of social structure, mating systems, dispersal, and sampling.
Many species are spatially and socially organized, with complex social organizations and dispersal patterns that are increasingly documented. Social species typically consist of small age-structured units, where a limited number of individuals monopolize reproduction and exhibit complex mating strategies. Here, we model social groups as age-structured units and investigate the genetic consequen...
متن کاملCrystal Basis Model of the Genetic Code: Structure and Consequences
The main features of a model of genetic code based on the crystal basis of U q→0 (sl(2)⊕sl(2)) is presented. The experimentally observed correlation between the values of the codon usage in quartets and sextets fits naturally in the model.
متن کاملSocial structure modulates the evolutionary consequences of social plasticity: A social network perspective on interacting phenotypes
Organisms express phenotypic plasticity during social interactions. Interacting phenotype theory has explored the consequences of social plasticity for evolution, but it is unclear how this theory applies to complex social structures. We adapt interacting phenotype models to general social structures to explore how the number of social connections between individuals and preference for phenotyp...
متن کاملLoss of genetic variability in social spiders: genetic and phylogenetic consequences of population subdivision and inbreeding
The consequences of population subdivision and inbreeding have been studied in many organisms, particularly in plants. However, most studies focus on the short-term consequences, such as inbreeding depression. To investigate the consequences of both population fragmentation and inbreeding for genetic variability in the longer term, we here make use of a natural inbreeding experiment in spiders,...
