===[[Stochastic dynamics in finite populations|Stochastic differential equations for evolutionary dynamics with demographic noise and mutations]]===
with Arne Traulsen & Jens-Christian Claussen, ''Phys. Rev. E'' '''85''' 041901 [http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.85.041901 doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.85.041901].
 
'''Summary:'''
Stochastic differential equations (SDE) provide a general framework to describe the evolutionary dynamics of an arbitrary number of types in finite populations. For large, but finite populations demographic noise is included without requiring explicit simulations. Instead, the population size only rescales the amplitude of the noise. Moreover, this framework admits the inclusion of mutations between different types, provided that mutation rates, \(\mu\), are not too small compared to the inverse population size \(1/N\). This ensures that all types are almost always represented in the population and that the occasional extinction of one type does not result in an extended absence of that type. However, for \(\mu N\ll1\) there are well established alternative approximations based on time scale separation. The excellent agreement with simulation based results is illustrated by a generic Rock-Scissors-Paper game with mutations for sufficiently large populations. In the absence of mutations the excellent agreement extends to small population sizes.
 
===[[Deme Structured Populations|Evolutionary Games in Deme Structured, Finite Populations]]===
[[Image:Cover JtB 2012.299.png|left|border|120px|link=Deme Structured Populations]]
with Lorens Imhof, ''J. theor. Biol.'' '''299''' 106-112 [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2011.06.010 doi: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2011.06.010].
 
'''Summary:'''
A fairly general model for the evolutionary dynamics in a sub-divided (or deme structured) population with migration and mutation is presented. The number and size of demes are finite and fixed. The fitness of each individual is determined by pairwise interactions with other members of the same deme. The dynamics within demes can be modeled according to a broad range of evolutionary processes. With a probability proportional to fitness, individuals migrate to another deme. Mutations occur randomly. In the limit of few migrations and even rarer mutations a simple analytic condition for selection to favor one strategic type over another is derived. In particular, the Pareto efficient type is favored when competition within demes is sufficiently weak. The general results are applied to the prisoner’s dilemma game and selected dynamics to discuss the conditions for cooperation to prevail.

===[[Evolutionary Games and Population Dynamics|Pattern formation and chaos in spatial ecological public goods games]]===
with Joe Yuichiro Wakano, ''J. theor. Biol.'' '''268''' 30-38 [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2010.09.036 doi:10.1016/j.jtbi.2010.09.036]
 
'''Summary:'''
Cooperators and defectors can coexist in ecological public goods games. When the game is played in two-dimensional continuous space, a reaction diffusion model produces highly irregular dynamics, in which cooperators and defectors survive in ever-changing configurations. The dynamics is related to the formation of Turing patterns, but the origin of the irregular dynamics is not well understood. This paper, presents a classification of the spatio-temporal dynamics based on the dispersion relation, which reveals that the spontaneous pattern formation can be attributed to the dynamical interplay between two linearly unstable modes: temporal instability arising from a Hopf-bifurcation and spatial instability arising from a Turing-bifurcation. Moreover, a detailed analysis of the highly irregular dynamics through power series, the break-down of symmetry, the maximum Lyapunov exponent, and the excitability of the reaction-term dynamics all support that the dynamics qualifies as spatio-temporal chaos. A particularly interesting type of chaotic dynamics, which was termed intermittent bursts, clearly demonstrates the effects of the two unstable modes where (local) periods of stasis alternate with rapid changes that may induce local extinction.

===[[Evolution of Sanctioning Institutions|Social learning promotes institutions for governing the commons]]===
[[Image:Cover Nature.466.7308.png|left|border|120px|link=Evolution of Sanctioning Institutions]]
with Karl Sigmund, Hannelore De Silva & Arne Traulsen (2010) ''Nature'' '''466''', 861-863 [http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature09203 doi: 10.1038/nature09203].
 
'''Summary:'''
Theoretical and empirical research highlights the role of punishment in promoting collaborative efforts. However, both the emergence and the stability of costly punishment are problematic issues. It is not clear how punishers can invade a society of defectors by social learning or natural selection, or how second-order free-riders (who contribute to the joint effort but not to the sanctions) can be prevented from drifting into a coercion-based regime and subverting cooperation. Here we compare the prevailing model of peer-punishment with pool-punishment, which consists in committing resources, before the collaborative effort, to prepare sanctions against free-riders. Pool-punishment facilitates the sanctioning of second-order free-riders, because these are exposed even if everyone contributes to the common good. In the absence of such second-order punishment, peer-punishers do better than pool-punishers; but with second-order punishment, the situation is reversed. Efficiency is traded for stability. Neither other-regarding tendencies or preferences for reciprocity and equity, nor group selection or prescriptions from higher authorities, are necessary for the emergence and stability of rudimentary forms of sanctioning institutions regulating common pool resources and enforcing collaborative efforts.

'''Summary:''' Understanding the evolution of cooperation through natural selection is a core problem in biology. Here, we review game theoretic models of cooperation that are based on two simple two-person games: the Prisoner's Dilemma, and the Snowdrift game. Both games have two strategies, to cooperate and to defect, and both games are social dilemmas. In social dilemmas, cooperation is prone to exploitation by defectors, and the average payoff in populations at evolutionary equilibrium is lower than in cooperator populations. The difference between the games is that cooperation is not maintained in the Prisoner's Dilemma, but persists in the Snowdrift game at intermediate frequencies. As a consequence, insights gained from studying extensions of the two games differ substantially. We review the most salient results obtained from extensions such as iteration, spatial structure, continuously variable cooperative investments, and multi-person interactions. Bridging the gap between theoretical and empirical research is one of the main challenges for future studies of cooperation, and we conclude by pointing out a number of promising natural systems in which the theory can be tested experimentally.
