Steady-State and Dynamical Behavior of a PDE Model of Multilevel Selection with Pairwise Group-Level Competition
Konstantinos Alexiou, Daniel B. Cooney
Evolutionary competition often occurs simultaneously at multiple levels of organization, in which traits or behaviors that are costly for an individual can provide collective benef…
Exploring the Evolution of Altruistic Punishment with a PDE Model of Cultural Multilevel Selection
Daniel B. Cooney
Two mechanisms that have been used to study the evolution of cooperative behavior are altruistic punishment, in which cooperative individuals pay additional costs to punish defecti…
Evolutionary Dynamics Within and Among Competing Groups
Daniel B. Cooney, Simon A. Levin, Yoichiro Mori +1
Biological and social systems are structured at multiple scales, and the incentives of individuals who interact in a group may diverge from the collective incentive of the group as…
A PDE Model for Protocell Evolution and the Origin of Chromosomes via Multilevel Selection
Daniel B. Cooney, Fernando W. Rossine, Dylan H. Morris +1
The evolution of complex cellular life involved two major transitions: the encapsulation of self-replicating genetic entities into cellular units and the aggregation of individual…
Long-Time Behavior of a PDE Replicator Equation for Multilevel Selection in Group-Structured Populations
Daniel B. Cooney, Yoichiro Mori
In many biological systems, natural selection acts simultaneously on multiple levels of organization. This scenario typically presents an evolutionary conflict between the incentiv…
Analysis of Multilevel Replicator Dynamics for General Two-Strategy Social Dilemmas
Daniel B. Cooney
Here we consider a game theoretic model of multilevel selection in which individuals compete based on their payoff and groups also compete based on the average payoff of group memb…
The Replicator Dynamics for Multilevel Selection in Evolutionary Games
Daniel B. Cooney
We consider a stochastic model for evolution of group-structured populations in which interactions between group members correspond to the Prisoner's Dilemma or the Hawk-Dove game.…
Assortment and the evolution of cooperation in a Moran process with exponential fitness
Daniel Cooney, Benjamin Allen, Carl Veller
We study the evolution of cooperation in a finite population interacting according to a simple model of like-with-like assortment. Evolution proceeds as a Moran process, and payoff…
