Division of labour and colony efficiency in social insects: effects of interactions between genetic architecture, colony kin structure and rate of perturbations

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Stéphane Magnenat, Markus Waibel

The efficiency of social insect colonies critically depends on their ability to efficiently allocate workers to the various tasks which need to be performed. While numerous models have investigated the mechanisms allowing an efficient colony response to ex ...

Genetic Team Composition and Level of Selection in the Evolution of Cooperation

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

In cooperative multiagent systems, agents interact to solve tasks. Global dynamics of multiagent teams result from local agent interactions, and are complex and difficult to predict. Evolutionary computation has proven a promising approach to the design of ...

Evolution of cooperation in artificial ants

Markus Waibel

The evolution of cooperation is a fundamental and enduring puzzle in biology and the social sciences. Hundreds of theoretical models have been proposed, but empirical research has been hindered by the generation time of social organisms and by the difficul ...

A Quantitative Test of Hamilton's Rule for the Evolution of Altruism

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

The evolution of altruism is a fundamental and enduring puzzle in biology. In a seminal paper Hamilton showed that altruism can be selected for when rb − c>0, where c is the fitness cost to the altruist, b is the fitness benefit to the beneficiary, and r i ...
