The chosen time scale starts with the earliest available studies of 1770s (t...

Consolidating Birth-Death and Death-Birth Processes in Structured Populations

Network models extend evolutionary game theory to settings with spatial or social structure and have provided key insights on the mechanisms underlying the evolution of cooperation.

Here we investigate two popular biologically motivated models of evolution in finite populations: Death-Birth ...
