Others with a more mathematical bent are
applying evolutionary game theory, a modeling approach developed for economics, to quantify cooperation and predict behavioral outcomes under different circumstances.
To do so, they used existing data on cancers treated by either MTD or LDM and modeled the competition between cells
using evolutionary game theory, a mathematical framework that uses Charles Darwin's concept of «survival of the fittest.»
The winning entry chosen by Section Editor Michael Bonsall was submitted by Chaitanya Gokhale, a postdoctoral researcher at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (Germany), and depicts a model
of evolutionary game theory on the maintenance of biodiversity with multiple players.
During my 3 - year fellowship in Cambridge, I worked on a variety of ecological and epidemiological problems, and also continued
applying evolutionary game theory to animal behaviour, with Sigal and with other biologists.
Dehai Liu of the Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, in Dalian, Liaoning, China, and colleagues have
used evolutionary game theory to examine the data associated with a major public health event — the emergence of a new pandemic virus.
To answer these questions I use evolutionary dynamics,
evolutionary game theory and experimental tests of human behaviour.
And
evolutionary game theory is an important branch of the study of evolutionary biology.
Evolutionary game theory is a mathematical tool that allows researchers to simulate various scenarios and predict outcomes.
