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…
Games of multicellularity
Kamran Kaveh, Carl Veller, Martin A. Nowak
Evolutionary game dynamics are often studied in the context of different population structures. Here we propose a new population structure that is inspired by simple multicellular…
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…
Assortment and the evolution of cooperation in a Moran process with exponential fitness
Daniel Cooney, Benjamin Allen, Carl Veller
We study the evolution of cooperation in a finite population interacting according to a simple model of like-with-like assortment. Evolution proceeds as a Moran process, and payoff…
Finite-population evolution with rare mutations in asymmetric games
Carl Veller, Laura K. Hayward
We model evolution according to an asymmetric game as occurring in multiple finite populations, one for each role in the game, and study the effect of subjecting individuals to sto…
