Resolving the paradox of evolvability with learning theory: How evolution learns to improve evolvability on rugged fitness landscapes
Loizos Kounios, Jeff Clune, Kostas Kouvaris +4
It has been hypothesized that one of the main reasons evolution has been able to produce such impressive adaptations is because it has improved its own ability to evolve -- "the ev…
What can ecosystems learn? Expanding evolutionary ecology with learning theory
Daniel A. Power, Richard A. Watson, Eörs Szathmáry +4
Understanding how the structure of community interactions is modified by coevolution is vital for understanding system responses to change at all scales. However, in absence of a g…
How to measure group selection in real-world populations
Simon T. Powers, Christopher Heys, Richard A. Watson
Multilevel selection and the evolution of cooperation are fundamental to the formation of higher-level organisation and the evolution of biocomplexity, but such notions are controv…
The efficacy of group selection is increased by coexistence dynamics within groups
Simon T. Powers, Alexandra S. Penn, Richard A. Watson
Selection on the level of loosely associated groups has been suggested as a route towards the evolution of cooperation between individuals and the subsequent formation of higher-le…
The concurrent evolution of cooperation and the population structures that support it
Simon T. Powers, Alexandra S. Penn, Richard A. Watson
The evolution of cooperation often depends upon population structure, yet nearly all models of cooperation implicitly assume that this structure remains static. This is a simplifyi…
