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…
Statistical mechanics of reputation systems in autonomous networks
Andre Manoel, Renato Vicente
Reputation systems seek to infer which members of a community can be trusted based on ratings they issue about each other. We construct a Bayesian inference model and simulate appr…
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…
