Why would natural selection favor the prevalence of cooperation within the groups of selfish
individuals? A fruitful framework to address this question is evolutionary game theory, the …

Prevalence of cooperation within groups of selfish individuals is puzzling in that it contradicts
with the basic premise of natural selection. Favoring players with higher fitness, the latter is …

Human populations are both highly cooperative and highly organized. Human interactions
are not random but rather are structured in social networks. Importantly, ties in these …

The availability of large data sets has allowed researchers to uncover complex properties
such as large-scale fluctuations and heterogeneities in many networks, leading to the …

Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks,
and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques …

Coupled biological and chemical systems, neural networks, social interacting species, the
Internet and the World Wide Web, are only a few examples of systems composed by a large …

At a time of unprecedented expansion in the life sciences, evolution is the one theory that
transcends all of biology. Any observation of a living system must ultimately be interpreted in …

Interactions among living organisms, from bacteria colonies to human societies, are
inherently more complex than interactions among particles and non-living matter. Group …

Game theory is one of the key paradigms behind many scientific disciplines from biology to
behavioral sciences to economics. In its evolutionary form and especially when the …

We review the recent rapid progress in the statistical physics of evolving networks. Interest
has focused mainly on the structural properties of complex networks in communications …
