Invasion, polymorphic equilibria and fixation of a mutant social allele in group structured populations
Roberto H. Schonmann, Renato Vicente, Robert Boyd
Stable mixtures of cooperators and defectors are often seen in nature. This fact is at odds with predictions based on linear public goods games under weak selection. That model imp…
The Taylor-Frank method cannot be applied to some biologically important, continuous fitness functions
Roberto H. Schonmann, Robert Boyd, Renato Vicente
The Taylor-Frank method for making kin selection models when fitness is a nonlinear function of a continuous phenotype requires this function to be differentiable. This assumption…
Altruism can proliferate through group/kin selection despite high random gene flow
Roberto H. Schonmann, Renato Vicente, Nestor Caticha
The ways in which natural selection can allow the proliferation of cooperative behavior have long been seen as a central problem in evolutionary biology. Most of the literature has…
Two-level Fisher-Wright framework with selection and migration: An approach to studying evolution in group structured populations
Roberto H. Schonmann, Renato Vicente, Nestor Caticha
A framework for the mathematical modeling of evolution in group structured populations is introduced. The population is divided into a fixed large number of groups of fixed size. F…
The Effect of a Random Drift on Mixed and Pure Strategies in the Snowdrift Game
Andre C. R. Martins, Renato Vicente
The replicator dynamics of players choosing either mixed or pure strategies are usually regarded as equivalent, as long as strategies are played with identical frequencies. In this…
