Stochastic formulation of ecological models and their applications

AJ Black, AJ McKane - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2012 - cell.com
The increasing use of computer simulation by theoretical ecologists started a move away
from models formulated at the population level towards individual-based models. However …

Universality of weak selection

B Wu, PM Altrock, L Wang, A Traulsen - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2010 - APS
Weak selection, which means a phenotype is slightly advantageous over another, is an
important limiting case in evolutionary biology. Recently, it has been introduced into …

Evolutionary multiplayer games

CS Gokhale, A Traulsen - Dynamic Games and Applications, 2014 - Springer
Evolutionary game theory has become one of the most diverse and far reaching theories in
biology. Applications of this theory range from cell dynamics to social evolution. However …

Computation and simulation of evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations

L Hindersin, B Wu, A Traulsen, J García - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
The study of evolutionary dynamics increasingly relies on computational methods, as more
and more cases outside the range of analytical tractability are explored. The computational …

From genes to games: cooperation and cyclic dominance in meiotic drive

A Traulsen, FA Reed - Journal of theoretical biology, 2012 - Elsevier
Evolutionary change can be described on a genotypic level or a phenotypic level.
Evolutionary game theory is typically thought of as a phenotypic approach, although it is …

The effect of population structure on the rate of evolution

M Frean, PB Rainey, A Traulsen - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Ecological factors exert a range of effects on the dynamics of the evolutionary process. A
particularly marked effect comes from population structure, which can affect the probability …

Fixation in finite populations evolving in fluctuating environments

P Ashcroft, PM Altrock, T Galla - Journal of The Royal …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
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 …

Dynamic properties of evolutionary multi-player games in finite populations

B Wu, A Traulsen, CS Gokhale - Games, 2013 - mdpi.com
William D. Hamilton famously stated that “human life is a many person game and not just a
disjoined collection of two person games". However, most of the theoretical results in …

Stability properties of underdominance in finite subdivided populations

PM Altrock, A Traulsen, FA Reed - PLoS computational biology, 2011 - journals.plos.org
In isolated populations underdominance leads to bistable evolutionary dynamics: below a
certain mutant allele frequency the wildtype succeeds. Above this point, the potentially …

Evolutionary games on cycles with strong selection

PM Altrock, A Traulsen, MA Nowak - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
Evolutionary games on graphs describe how strategic interactions and population structure
determine evolutionary success, quantified by the probability that a single mutant takes over …
