Very excited to share our latest work on oscillating dynamics in cheat ratios!! We generalised previous results, systematically reviewed past theories, and suggested some experimental designs. academic.oup.com/evlett/adva… @StuWest8 @geoffwild

Equilibria and oscillations in cheat–cooperator dynamics

Abstract. Cooperative societies can be threatened by cheats, who invest less in cooperation and exploit the contributions of others. The impact of cheats d

Thanks to coauthors @PennyGraceYoung, @geoffwild, @PaulTurnerLab, @StuWest8, and to @PLOSBiology, especially @npariente and @RoliRoberts, for a smooth process. plos.io/3Lshrax
Cheating leads to the evolution of multipartite viruses

Cheating leads to the evolution of multipartite viruses

In multipartite viruses, the genome is split into multiple segments, each of which is transmitted via a separate capsid. This seems costly, so why is this form of genome organization so widespread?...
