BEACON Researchers at Work: The Structure of Coevolution
This BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by MSU graduate student Luis Zaman. In my first BEACON blog post, I wrote about how we study the diversity producing effects of host-parasite coevolution in Avida. I used a traffic jam … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: When Cooperating Means Just Saying No
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work post is by University of Washington postdoc Brian Connelly. Evolutionary biologists often talk like economists, particularly when the topic is cooperation. Instead of dollars, euros, or pounds, the universal currency in evolution is fitness. A species that … Continue reading
