A hub for all research pertaining to Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics of Fluctuating Populations
Matthew Asker The 12th European Conference on Mathematical and Theoretical Biology will take place in Heidelberg, Germany, between 19.09-23.09.2022 and is a joint event organized by the European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB) and the … Read more
Abstract: The spatiotemporal arrangement of interacting populations often influences the maintenance of species diversity and is a subject of intense research. Here, we study the spatiotemporal patterns arising from the cyclic competition between three species … Read more
Abstract: Cooperative behaviour is widespread in nature, even though cooperating individuals always run the risk of being exploited by free-riders. Population structure effectively promotes cooperation given that a threshold in the level of cooperation was … Read more
Abstract: 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 are still puzzling. Following recent experiments, we consider the role … Read more
Abstract: Environmental variability greatly influences the eco-evolutionary dynamics of a population, i.e. it affects how its size and composition evolve. Here, we study a well-mixed population of finite and fluctuating size whose growth is limited … Read more
Abstract: The maintenance of “public” or “common good” producers is a major question in the evolution of cooperation. Because nonproducers benefit from the shared resource without bearing its cost of production, they may proliferate faster … Read more
Abstract: Environment plays a fundamental role in the competition for resources, and hence in the evolution of populations. Here, we study a well-mixed, finite population consisting of two strains competing for the limited resources provided … Read more
