A Traveling-Wave Solution for Bacterial Chemotaxis with Growth
Avaneesh V. Narla, Jonas Cremer, Terry Hwa
Bacterial cells navigate around their environment by directing their movement along chemical gradients. This process, known as chemotaxis, can promote the rapid expansion of bacter…
Cooperation in Microbial Populations: Theory and Experimental Model Systems
J. Cremer, A. Melbinger, K. Wienand +3
Cooperative behavior, the costly provision of benefits to others, is common across all domains of life. This review article discusses cooperative behavior in the microbial world, m…
The Emergence of Cooperation from a Single Mutant during Microbial Life-Cycles
Anna Melbinger, Jonas Cremer, Erwin Frey
Cooperative behavior is widespread in nature, even though cooperating individuals always run the risk to be exploited by free-riders. Population structure effectively promotes coop…
Mobility, fitness collection, and the breakdown of cooperation
Anatolij Gelimson, Jonas Cremer, Erwin Frey
The spatial arrangement of individuals is thought to overcome the dilemma of cooperation: When cooperators engage in clusters they might share the benefit of cooperation while bein…
Growth dynamics and the evolution of cooperation in microbial populations
Jonas Cremer, Anna Melbinger, Erwin Frey
Microbes providing public goods are widespread in nature despite running the risk of being exploited by free-riders. However, the precise ecological factors supporting cooperation…
Evolutionary and Population Dynamics: A Coupled Approach
Jonas Cremer, Anna Melbinger, Erwin Frey
We study the interplay of population growth and evolutionary dynamics using a stochastic model based on birth and death events. In contrast to the common assumption of an independe…
Evolutionary game theory in growing populations
Anna Melbinger, Jonas Cremer, Erwin Frey
Existing theoretical models of evolution focus on the relative fitness advantages of different mutants in a population while the dynamic behavior of the population size is mostly l…
The edge of neutral evolution in social dilemmas
Jonas Cremer, Tobias Reichenbach, Erwin Frey
The functioning of animal as well as human societies fundamentally relies on cooperation. Yet, defection is often favorable for the selfish individual, and social dilemmas arise. S…
Anomalous finite-size effects in the Battle of the Sexes
Jonas Cremer, Tobias Reichenbach, Erwin Frey
The Battle of the Sexes describes asymmetric conflicts in mating behavior of males and females. Males can be philanderer or faithful, while females are either fast or coy, leading…
