    Tobias Galla

    Nearly 50 years ago Robert May sparked the “diversity-stability debate” in ecology. May’s work centres on the so-called community matrix covering the stability of large ecological communities. Assuming that this matrix has random entries May claims that an increased number of species promotes instability. As a consequence of this work a decade-long debate has ensued, leading to hundreds of...

  6. 7. Why is cyclic dominance so rare?
    Hye-Jin Park
    15/09/2019, 16:30

    Natural populations contain multiple types of coexisting individuals.
    Individuals interact with each other affecting the death and birth of them, and this interaction structure shapes population composition.
    Some interaction structures support the coexistence of multiple diverse types, while others favour one the and drive all others to extinction.
    A paramount example of structures supporting...

  12. 13. Towards constructing a mathematically rigorous framework for modelling evolutionary fitness
    Andrew Morozov
    16/09/2019, 10:00

    In modelling biological evolution, a major mathematical challenge consists in an adequate quantification of selective advantages of species. Current approaches to modelling natural section are often based on the idea of maximization of a certain prescribed criterion – evolutionary fitness. This paradigm was inspired by the seminal Darwin’s idea of the ‘survival of the fittest’. However, the...

  18. 20. Evolution of simple multicellular life cycles
    Yuriy Pichugin
    16/09/2019, 15:20

    A fascinating wealth of life cycles is observed in biology, from unicellularity to the concerted fragmentation of multicellular units.
    However, the understanding of factors driving their evolution is still limited.
    Here, we develop a model in which groups arise from the division of single cells that do not separate but stay together until the moment of group fragmentation.
    We allow for all...

  24. 27. Multiple evolutionary (games) interactions
    Vandana Revathi Venkateswaran
    17/09/2019, 10:20

    Evolutionary game theory has been successful in describing phenomena from bacterial population dynamics to the evolution of social behaviour. However, it has focused on a single game describing the interactions between individuals. Organisms are simultaneously involved in many intraspecies and interspecies interactions. Therefore, there is a need to move from single games to multiple games....
