Selection for synchronized cell division in simple multicellular organisms
Jason Olejarz, Kamran Kaveh, Carl Veller +1
The evolution of multicellularity was a major transition in the history of life on earth. Conditions under which multicellularity is favored have been studied theoretically and exp…
The evolution of queen control over worker reproduction in the social Hymenoptera
Jason Olejarz, Carl Veller, Martin A. Nowak
A trademark of eusocial insect species is reproductive division of labor, in which workers forego their own reproduction while the queen produces almost all offspring. The presence…
Primordial Sex Facilitates the Emergence of Evolution
Sam Sinai, Jason Olejarz, Iulia A. Neagu +1
Compartments are ubiquitous throughout biology, yet their importance stretches back to the origin of cells. In the context of origin of life, we assume that a protocell, a compartm…
Evolution of worker policing
Jason W. Olejarz, Benjamin Allen, Carl Veller +2
Workers in insect societies are sometimes observed to kill male eggs of other workers, a phenomenon known as worker policing. We perform a mathematical analysis of the evolutionary…
Crystal Growth Inside an Octant
Jason Olejarz, P. L. Krapivsky
We study crystal growth inside an infinite octant on a cubic lattice. The growth proceeds through the deposition of elementary cubes into inner corners. After re-scaling by the cha…
Zero-Temperature Coarsening in the 2d Potts Model
J. Olejarz, P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner
We study the fate of the 2d kinetic q-state Potts model after a sudden quench to zero temperature. Both ground states and complicated static states are reached with non-zero probab…
