Structured foraging of soil predators unveils functional responses to bacterial defenses
Fernando W. Rossine, Gabriel Vercelli, Corina E. Tarnita +1
Predators and their foraging strategies often determine ecosystem structure and function. Yet, the role of protozoan predators in microbial soil ecosystems remains elusive despite…
Evolution of social norms for moral judgment
Taylor A. Kessinger, Corina E. Tarnita, Joshua B. Plotkin
Reputations provide a powerful mechanism to sustain cooperation, as individuals cooperate with those of good social standing. But how should moral reputations be updated as we obse…
Integrating theory and experiments to link local mechanisms and ecosystem-level consequences of vegetation patterns in drylands
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Ciro Cabal, Justin M. Calabrese +4
Self-organized spatial patterns of vegetation are frequent in drylands and, because pattern shape correlates with water availability, they have been suggested as important indicato…
Demographic noise can reverse the direction of deterministic selection
George W. A. Constable, Tim Rogers, Alan J. McKane +1
Deterministic evolutionary theory robustly predicts that populations displaying altruistic behaviours will be driven to extinction by mutant cheats that absorb common benefits but…
Lack of ecological context can create the illusion of social success in Dictyostelium discoideum
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Corina E. Tarnita
Studies of cooperation in microbes often focus on one fitness component, with little information about or attention to the ecological context, and this can lead to paradoxical resu…
Seasonality can induce coexistence of multiple bet-hedging strategies in Dictyostelium discoideum via storage effect
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Corina E. Tarnita
D. discoideum has been recently suggested as an example of bet-hedging. Upon starvation a population of unicellular amoebae splits between aggregators, which form a fruiting body m…
Prosperity is associated with instability in dynamical networks
Matteo Cavaliere, Sean Sedwards, Corina E. Tarnita +2
Social, biological and economic networks grow and decline with occasional fragmentation and re-formation, often explained in terms of external perturbations. We show that these phe…
Mutation-selection equilibrium in games with multiple strategies
Tibor Antal, Arne Traulsen, Hisashi Ohtsuki +2
In evolutionary games the fitness of individuals is not constant but depends on the relative abundance of the various strategies in the population. Here we study general games amon…
