The evolution of cooperation: an evolutionary advantage of individuals impedes the evolution of the population
Xiaoliang Wang, Andrew Harrison
Range expansion is a universal process in biological systems, and therefore plays a part in biological evolution. Using a quantitative individual-based method based on the stochast…
Chemical principles of instability and self-organization in reacting and diffusive systems
Xiaoliang Wang, Andrew Harrison
How patterns and structures undergo symmetry breaking and self-organize within biological systems from initially homogeneous states is a key issue for biological development. The a…
Self-organization principles of cell cycles and gene expressions in the development of cell populations
Xiaoliang Wang, Dongyun Bai
A big challenge in current biology is to understand the exact self-organization mechanism underlying complex multi-physics coupling developmental processes. With multiscale computa…
Spatial alignment, group strategy and non-kin selection enable the evolution of cooperation
Xiaoliang Wang, Andrew Harrison
This article considers a mechanism to explain the emergence and evolution of social cooperation. Selfish individuals tend to benefit themselves, which makes it hard for the mainten…
