20.500.12556/DKUM-87991 Time delays shape the eco‑evolutionary dynamics of cooperation We study the intricate interplay between ecological and evolutionary processes through the lens of the prisoner’s dilemma game. But while previous studies on cooperation amongst selfsh individuals often assume instantaneous interactions, we take into consideration delays to investigate how these might afect the causes underlying prosocial behavior. Through analytical calculations and numerical simulations, we demonstrate that delays can lead to oscillations, and by incorporating also the ecological variable of altruistic free space and the evolutionary strategy of punishment, we explore how these factors impact population and community dynamics. Depending on the parameter values and the initial fraction of each strategy, the studied eco-evolutionary model can mimic a cyclic dominance system and even exhibit chaotic behavior, thereby highlighting the importance of complex dynamics for the efective management and conservation of ecological communities. Our research thus contributes to the broader understanding of group decision-making and the emergence of moral behavior in multidimensional social systems. cooperation time delay evolutionary dynamics social dilemma social physics sodelovanje časovni zamik dinamika evolucije družbena dilema fizika družbe true true true Nature Publishing Group Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-04-04 14:34:35 2024-04-04 14:46:39 2024-05-27 14:03:38 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-21 Št. članka 14331 Letn. 13 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-06-16 2023-08-28 2023-08-31 53 163924739 10.1038/s41598-023-41519-1 2045-2322 Roy-2023-Time_delays_shape_the_eco-evolutionar.pdf Roy-2023-Time_delays_shape_the_eco-evolutionar.pdf 1 A10AE88EC6C3A940764D65ADB179C848 e19b0cbbff0382cdb567c5c8f4746e08f15474df314d367c370022c783da872b 0d07c92a-f281-11ee-ba83-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177895 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-41519-1 0 271b3e77-f281-11ee-ba83-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177896 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
