What can we learn from disruptions of seasonal patterns of disease during the pandemic? A new paper by @michaelsieber.bsky.social in PLOS Global Public Health, journals.plos.org/globalpublic..., was featured in the German news such as @zeit.de or @spiegel.de - and may be of interest also here. 1/3

Shifts in seasonal timing of respiratory diseases and causes of death following a natural pandemic event
Seasonal respiratory infections typically surge within a limited time window, but what determines the exact timing within a given year is not well understood. Major causes of death show a similar seas...

Corina Tarnita and I have discussed the relation between theoretical ecology and evolutionary game theory since my sabbatical in 2022. Now the paper is out, doi.org/10.1073/pnas... Cooperation in nature may not be mysterious when there are growth differences- questioning the notion of cooperation.

Graph-structured populations elucidate the role of deleterious mutations in long-term evolution - Nature Communications
In birth-death models, the evolution of spatially structured populations is impacted by the order of birth and death events. Here, the authors demonstrate that moving the parent to a vacant site leads...

When a cell divides, which one is the mother and which one is the daughter? Models of network structured populations usually assume that the potentially mutated daughter cell is moving to an adjacent site, but what happens if we change that assumption? 1/2

In game theory, we often assume that people only interact in one game at a time. In a new paper, we explore theoretically and experimentally how people cooperate when they engage in two games concurrently, either with the same partner or with different partners, www.nature.com/articles/s41...
