Fixation of Strategies for an Evolutionary Game in Finite Populations

7th February 2023 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: A stochastic evolutionary dynamics of two strategies given by 2 × 2 matrix games is studied in finite populations. We focus on stochastic properties of fixation: how a strategy represented by a single individual … Read more

The edge of neutral evolution in social dilemmas

7th February 2023 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: The functioning of animal as well as human societies fundamentally relies on cooperation. Yet, defection is often favorable for the selfish individual, and social dilemmas arise. Selection by individuals’ fitness, usually the basic driving … Read more

Adaptation to the fitness costs of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli

7th February 2023 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: Policies aimed at alleviating the growing problem of drug-resistant pathogens by restricting antimicrobial usage implicitly assume that resistance reduces the Darwinian fitness of pathogens in the absence of drugs. While fitness costs have been … Read more

Coevolutionary Dynamics: From Finite to Infinite Populations

7th February 2023 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: Traditionally, frequency dependent evolutionary dynamics is described by deterministic replicator dynamics assuming implicitly infinite population sizes. Only recently have stochastic processes been introduced to study evolutionary dynamics in finite populations. However, the relationship between … Read more

Evolutionary Dynamics in a Varying Environment: Continuous versus Discrete Noise

21st December 202221st December 2022 by Mauro Mobilia

Authors: Ami Taitelbaum, Robert West, Mauro Mobilia, Michael Assaf Abstract: Environmental variations can significantly influence how populations compete for resources, and hence shape their evolution. Here, we study population dynamics subject to a fluctuating environment … Read more

Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with periodically varying carrying capacity

30th November 202218th November 2022 by mswailem

Authors: Mohamed Swailem, Uwe C. Täuber Abstract: We study the stochastic spatial Lotka-Volterra model for predator-prey competition subject to a periodically varying carrying capacity. The Lotka-Volterra model with on-site lattice occupation restrictions (i.e., finite local … Read more

Fixation in finite populations evolving in fluctuating environments

26th October 2022 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: The environment in which a population evolves can have a crucial impact on selection. We study evolutionary dynamics in finite populations of fixed size in a changing environment. The population dynamics are driven by … Read more

Resist or perish: Fate of a microbial population subjected to a periodic presence of antimicrobial

7th September 2022 by Mauro Mobilia

URL: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007798 Authors: Loïc Marrec and  Anne-Florence Bitbol Journal Ref.: PLoS Comput Biol 16(4): e1007798 (2020) Abstract: The evolution of antimicrobial resistance can be strongly affected by variations of antimicrobial concentration. Here, we study the … Read more
