The red panda (Ailurus fulgen) is reddish brown, long-tailed mammal, found in the mountain forests of the Himalayas and adjacent areas of eastern Asia, which subsists mainly on bamboo (Choudhury, 2001). This species as with most Carnivora, possesses paired anal glands used by both sexes to scent-mark. Red pandas emit a musky odor from these glands when excited (Nowak, 1991), and according to Ro...

A spatially extended version of the game of prisoner's dilemma, originally proposed by Nowak and May, is modified to include stochastic updating and found to exhibit scale-invariant behavior. Two critical regimes with different scaling behaviors are found; the corresponding exponents have been determined numerically. Spatially, the critical states are characterized by the existence of delicatel...

In the last few years the study of language evolution has received extensive attention. Many Studies have explored the dynamics and the conditions in which a structured coherent language can emerge (e.g. Nowak 2000). These efforts have been mainly guided by the notion of natural selection, which assumes that language contributes to human fitness, and that successful communication leads to an in...
