Evolution of cooperation in spatially structured populations
Using a spatial lattice model of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma we studied the evolution of cooperation within the strategy space of all stochastic strategies with a memory of one round. Comparing the spatial model with a randomly mixed model showed that (1) there is more cooperative behaviour in a spatially structured population, (2) PAVLOV and generous variants of it are very successful stra...
متن کاملEvolution and selfishness
(This paper is not a paper; in other words, not even a draft. It is a compilation of different themes I have been thinking of during the last months. Being a compilation, the different "chapters" are not coherent. When I made changes in some chapters, these changes would have entailed that I change the content in other chapters too. But I have not had the time to do so. There are therefore all ...
متن کاملGap formation following climatic events in spatially structured plant communities
Gaps play a crucial role in maintaining species diversity, yet how community structure and composition influence gap formation is still poorly understood. We apply a spatially structured community model to predict how species diversity and intraspecific aggregation shape gap patterns emerging after climatic events, based on species-specific mortality responses. In multispecies communities, aver...
متن کاملWidespread punctuated evolution in microbial communities
Until recently, much of the microbial world was hidden from view. A global research effort has changed this, unveiling and quantifying microbial diversity across enormous range of critically-important contexts, from the human microbiome, to plant-soil interactions, to marine life. Yet what has remained largely hidden is the interplay of ecological and evolutionary processes that led to the dive...
متن کاملEvolution, Selfishness and Cooperation
It is argued that replicators evolving through natural selection on the basis of fitness are intrinsically selfish. Though the synergy resulting from cooperation is generally advantageous, selfish or subsystem optimization precludes the reaching of a globally optimal cooperative arrangement. This predicament is exemplified by the "Prisoner's dilemma". Different proposals to explain the evolutio...
