Abstract: Explaining the emergence and maintenance of cooperation among selfish individuals from an evolutionary perspective remains a grand challenge in biology, economy and social sciences. Social exclusion is believed to be an answer to this conundrum.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.105.054307
Abstract: We study the effect of group interactions on the emergence of consensus in a spin system. Agents with discrete opinions {0,1} form groups. They can change their opinion based on their group's influence (voter dynamics),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.03262-22
Abstract: Soil microorganisms drive emissions of nitrous oxide from soils; this is a powerful greenhouse gas and the dominant ozone-depleting agent. N2O emissions can be partly predicted from soil properties and specific microbial groups, whereas a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.786685
Abstract: This article proposes an analytical framework that combines Conversation Analysis, Positioning Theory, and Stance Analysis to study communalization and distinction as basic interactive mechanisms within group interactions. The framework is based on the premise that… read more here.

Abstract: We consider an evolutionary model of social coordination in a 2 × 2 game where two groups of players prefer to coordinate on different actions. Players can pay a cost to learn their opponent’s group:… read more here.
