Evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) analysis pioneered by Maynard Smith and Price took off
in part because it often does not require explicit assumptions about the genetics and …

Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure of a population can
affect which traits evolve,. Understanding evolutionary game dynamics in structured …

Growing evidence shows the contribution of physical activity interventions to the gut
microbiome. However, specific physical activity characteristics that can modify the gut …

The question of whether AI systems such as robots can or should be afforded moral agency
or patiency is not one amenable either to discovery or simple reasoning, because we as …

How can the stunning diversity of social systems and behaviours seen in nature be
explained? Drawing on social evolution theory, experimental evidence and studies …

Violent conflicts between groups have been observed among many species of group living
mammals and can have important fitness consequences, with individuals being injured or …

The effect of a mutation on the organism often depends on what other mutations are already
present in its genome. Geneticists refer to such mutational interactions as epistasis. Pairwise …

Recent comparative studies show that cooperative breeding is positively correlated with
harsh and unpredictable environments and it is suggested that this association occurs …

How should fitness be measured to determine which phenotype or “strategy” is uninvadable
when evolution occurs in a group‐structured population subject to local demographic and …

The evolutionary stability of quantitative traits depends on whether a population can resist
invasion by any mutant. While uninvadability is well understood in well-mixed populations, it …
