Evolution of cooperative strategies from first principles

Article Abstract:

A more stringent test of the theories of kin selection is proposed by developing a computer model with a considerably extended spectrum of possible strategies. The study shows that within the artificial evolution framework it is possible to model not only how one strategy displaces another but also the very process by which new strategies emerge out of a very large space of possibilities.

Rapid evolution drives ecological dynamics in a predator-prey system

Article Abstract:

Ecological and evolutionary dynamics can occur on similar timescales, the prediction of which can affect ecological dynamics. The report on rapid prey evolution in response to oscillating predator density, which affects predator-prey cycles in laboratory microcosms, is presented.

Evolution in population dynamics

Article Abstract:

Ecologists don't worry about the possibility of evolutionary change, which affect their study organisms. Ecologists will have to rethink several assumptions to demonstrate the rapid evolution that can drive population cycles.
