Five rules for the evolution of cooperation

MA Nowak - science, 2006‏ - science.org

Rethinking the theoretical foundation of sociobiology

DS Wilson, EO Wilson - The Quarterly review of biology, 2007‏ - journals.uchicago.edu
Current sociobiology is in theoretical disarray, with a diversity of frameworks that are poorly

Evolution of cooperation by multilevel selection

A Traulsen, MA Nowak - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2006‏ - pnas.org

Models of cooperation based on the Prisoner's Dilemma and the Snowdrift game

M Doebeli, C Hauert - Ecology letters, 2005‏ - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the mechanisms that can lead to the evolution of cooperation through natural
selection is a core problem in biology. Among the various attempts at constructing a theory …

Evolutionary dynamics in structured populations
