Nikhil Sharma shows that this leads to new classes of population structure and shows how deleterious mutations can impact adaptive evolution in a more general way - now out in Nature Communications, doi.org/10.1038/s414... 2/2

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...
