Rotating the Necker cube: A bioeconomic approach to cooperation and the causal role of synergy in evolution

TL;DR: It will be argued that synergies of various kinds have been important drivers for cooperation in living systems at all levels, and that genetic relatedness is neither necessary nor sufficient for the emergence of cooperative phenomena.

Slower environmental change hinders adaptation from standing genetic variation.

TL;DR: Results show that slower environmental change can hamper adaptation from standing genetic variation and they support theoretical models indicating that standing variation for genotype-by-environment fitness interactions critically alters the pace and outcome of adaptation under environmental change.

Learning leads to bounded rationality and the evolution of cognitive bias in public goods games.

TL;DR: It is shown that overestimation of the cost of investing can evolve, and the bias causes individuals to invest less into the project, indicating that evolution of bias can then compensate for the cognitive limitations of learning.

Did Veblen Generalize Darwinism (And Why Does It Matter)

TL;DR: This paper argued that Veblen's theory of cultural evolution has generalized Darwinian principles to socioeconomic phenomena and suggested a close connection between the ontological framework of generalized Darwinism and the technical study of evolutionary phenomena through evolutionary game theory.

Acknowledging selection at sub-organismal levels resolves controversy on pro-cooperation mechanisms

TL;DR: It is shown that selection can operate on organismal and sub-organismal 'entities' such that partner fidelity feedback at sub-Organismal level can appear as partner choice at organismal level and that cooperation between multicellular eukaryotes and mitochondria is promoted by partner fidelity Feedback and partner choice between sub- Organismal entities.
