Evolutionary dynamics shape the living world around us. At the centre of every evolutionary
process is a population of reproducing individuals. The structure of that population affects …

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 …

Robert May's seminal book has played a central role in the development of ecological
science. Originally published in 1976, this influential text has overseen the transition of …

The term 'Memetic Algorithms'[74](MAs) was introduced in the late 80s to denote a family of
metaheuristics that have as central theme the hybridization of different algorithmic …

The generic denomination of 'Memetic Algorithms'(MAs) is used to encompass a broad class
of metaheuristics (ie, general purpose methods aimed to guide an underlying heuristic). The …

We study evolutionary games on graphs. Each player is represented by a vertex of the
graph. The edges denote who meets whom. A player can use any one of n strategies …

Evolutionary game theory studies frequency dependent selection. The fitness of a strategy is
not constant, but depends on the relative frequencies of strategies in the population. This …

We study the evolution of cooperation modeled as symmetric 2× 2 games in a population
whose structure is split into an interaction graph defining who plays with whom and a …

In the traditional approach to evolutionary game theory, the individuals of a population meet
each other at random, and they have no control over the frequency or duration of …

Traditional evolutionary game theory explores frequency-dependent selection in well-mixed
populations without spatial or stochastic effects. But recently there has been much interest in …
