Nonlinear social evolution and the emergence of collective action
Benjamin Allen, Abdur-Rahman Khwaja, James L. Donahue +3
Organisms from microbes to humans engage in a variety of social behaviors, which affect fitness in complex, often nonlinear ways. The question of how these behaviors evolve has con…
Transient amplifiers of selection and reducers of fixation for death-Birth updating on graphs
Benjamin Allen, Christine Sample, Robert Jencks +7
The spatial structure of an evolving population affects which mutations become fixed. Some structures amplify selection, increasing the likelihood that beneficial mutations become…
The limits of weak selection and large population size in evolutionary game theory
Christine Sample, Benjamin Allen
Evolutionary game theory is a mathematical approach to studying how social behaviors evolve. In many recent works, evolutionary competition between strategies is modeled as a stoch…
The molecular clock of neutral evolution can be accelerated or slowed by asymmetric spatial structure
Benjamin Allen, Christine Sample, Yulia A. Dementieva +3
Over time, a population acquires neutral genetic substitutions as a consequence of random drift. A famous result in population genetics asserts that the rate, , at which these s…
