text: 'Direct reciprocity is a powerful mechanism for cooperation in social
dilemmas. The very logic of reciprocity, however, seems to require that individuals
are symmetric, and that everyone has the same means to influence each others’
payoffs. Yet in many applications, individuals are asymmetric. Herein, we study
the effect of asymmetry in linear public good games. Individuals may differ in
their endowments (their ability to contribute to a public good) and in their productivities
(how effective their contributions are). Given the individuals’ productivities,
we ask which allocation of endowments is optimal for cooperation. To this end,
we consider two notions of optimality. The first notion focuses on the resilience
of cooperation. The respective endowment distribution ensures that full cooperation
is feasible even under the most adverse conditions. The second notion focuses
on efficiency. The corresponding endowment distribution maximizes group welfare.
Using analytical methods, we fully characterize these two endowment distributions.
This analysis reveals that both optimality notions favor some endowment inequality:
More productive players ought to get higher endowments. Yet the two notions disagree
on how unequal endowments are supposed to be. A focus on resilience results in
less inequality. With additional simulations, we show that the optimal endowment
allocation needs to account for both the resilience and the efficiency of cooperation.'

text: The field of indirect reciprocity investigates how social norms can foster
cooperation when individuals continuously monitor and assess each other’s social
interactions. By adhering to certain social norms, cooperating individuals can
improve their reputation and, in turn, receive benefits from others. Eight social
norms, known as the “leading eight," have been shown to effectively promote the
evolution of cooperation as long as information is public and reliable. These
norms categorize group members as either ’good’ or ’bad’. In this study, we examine
a scenario where individuals instead assign nuanced reputation scores to each
other, and only cooperate with those whose reputation exceeds a certain threshold.
We find both analytically and through simulations that such quantitative assessments
are error-correcting, thus facilitating cooperation in situations where information
is private and unreliable. Moreover, our results identify four specific norms
that are robust to such conditions, and may be relevant for helping to sustain
cooperation in natural populations.

text: Many human interactions feature the characteristics of social dilemmas where
individual actions have consequences for the group and the environment. The feedback
between behavior and environment can be studied with the framework of stochastic
games. In stochastic games, the state of the environment can change, depending
on the choices made by group members. Past work suggests that such feedback can
reinforce cooperative behaviors. In particular, cooperation can evolve in stochastic
games even if it is infeasible in each separate repeated game. In stochastic games,
participants have an interest in conditioning their strategies on the state of
the environment. Yet in many applications, precise information about the state
could be scarce. Here, we study how the availability of information (or lack thereof)
shapes evolution of cooperation. Already for simple examples of two state games
we find surprising effects. In some cases, cooperation is only possible if there
is precise information about the state of the environment. In other cases, cooperation
is most abundant when there is no information about the state of the environment.
We systematically analyze all stochastic games of a given complexity class, to
determine when receiving information about the environment is better, neutral,
or worse for evolution of cooperation.

text: 'In repeated interactions, players can use strategies that respond to the
outcome of previous rounds. Much of the existing literature on direct reciprocity
assumes that all competing individuals use the same strategy space. Here, we study
both learning and evolutionary dynamics of players that differ in the strategy
space they explore. We focus on the infinitely repeated donation game and compare
three natural strategy spaces: memory-1 strategies, which consider the last moves
of both players, reactive strategies, which respond to the last move of the co-player,
and unconditional strategies. These three strategy spaces differ in the memory
capacity that is needed. We compute the long term average payoff that is achieved
in a pairwise learning process. We find that smaller strategy spaces can dominate
larger ones. For weak selection, unconditional players dominate both reactive
and memory-1 players. For intermediate selection, reactive players dominate memory-1
players. Only for strong selection and low cost-to-benefit ratio, memory-1 players
dominate the others. We observe that the supergame between strategy spaces can
be a social dilemma: maximum payoff is achieved if both players explore a larger
strategy space, but smaller strategy spaces dominate.'

text: Direct and indirect reciprocity are key mechanisms for the evolution of cooperation.
Direct reciprocity means that individuals use their own experience to decide whether
to cooperate with another person. Indirect reciprocity means that they also consider
the experiences of others. Although these two mechanisms are intertwined, they
are typically studied in isolation. Here, we introduce a mathematical framework
that allows us to explore both kinds of reciprocity simultaneously. We show that
the well-known ‘generous tit-for-tat’ strategy of direct reciprocity has a natural
analogue in indirect reciprocity, which we call ‘generous scoring’. Using an equilibrium
analysis, we characterize under which conditions either of the two strategies
can maintain cooperation. With simulations, we additionally explore which kind
of reciprocity evolves when members of a population engage in social learning
to adapt to their environment. Our results draw unexpected connections between
direct and indirect reciprocity while highlighting important differences regarding
their evolvability.

text: Coinfections with multiple pathogens can result in complex within‐host dynamics
affecting virulence and transmission. While multiple infections are intensively
studied in solitary hosts, it is so far unresolved how social host interactions
interfere with pathogen competition, and if this depends on coinfection diversity.
We studied how the collective disease defences of ants – their social immunity
– influence pathogen competition in coinfections of same or different fungal pathogen
species. Social immunity reduced virulence for all pathogen combinations, but
interfered with spore production only in different‐species coinfections. Here,
it decreased overall pathogen sporulation success while increasing co‐sporulation
on individual cadavers and maintaining a higher pathogen diversity at the community
level. Mathematical modelling revealed that host sanitary care alone can modulate
competitive outcomes between pathogens, giving advantage to fast‐germinating,
thus less grooming‐sensitive ones. Host social interactions can hence modulate
infection dynamics in coinfected group members, thereby altering pathogen communities
at the host level and population level.

text: Direct reciprocity is a powerful mechanism for the evolution of cooperation
on the basis of repeated interactions1,2,3,4. It requires that interacting individuals
are sufficiently equal, such that everyone faces similar consequences when they
cooperate or defect. Yet inequality is ubiquitous among humans5,6 and is generally
considered to undermine cooperation and welfare7,8,9,10. Most previous models
of reciprocity do not include inequality11,12,13,14,15. These models assume that
individuals are the same in all relevant aspects. Here we introduce a general
framework to study direct reciprocity among unequal individuals. Our model allows
for multiple sources of inequality. Subjects can differ in their endowments, their
productivities and in how much they benefit from public goods. We find that extreme
inequality prevents cooperation. But if subjects differ in productivity, some
endowment inequality can be necessary for cooperation to prevail. Our mathematical
predictions are supported by a behavioural experiment in which we vary the endowments
and productivities of the subjects. We observe that overall welfare is maximized
when the two sources of heterogeneity are aligned, such that more productive individuals
receive higher endowments. By contrast, when endowments and productivities are
misaligned, cooperation quickly breaks down. Our findings have implications for
policy-makers concerned with equity, efficiency and the provisioning of public
goods.

text: Direct reciprocity is a mechanism for cooperation among humans. Many of our
daily interactions are repeated. We interact repeatedly with our family, friends,
colleagues, members of the local and even global community. In the theory of repeated
games, it is a tacit assumption that the various games that a person plays simultaneously
have no effect on each other. Here we introduce a general framework that allows
us to analyze “crosstalk” between a player’s concurrent games. In the presence
of crosstalk, the action a person experiences in one game can alter the person’s
decision in another. We find that crosstalk impedes the maintenance of cooperation
and requires stronger levels of forgiveness. The magnitude of the effect depends
on the population structure. In more densely connected social groups, crosstalk
has a stronger effect. A harsh retaliator, such as Tit-for-Tat, is unable to counteract
crosstalk. The crosstalk framework provides a unified interpretation of direct
and upstream reciprocity in the context of repeated games.

text: 'Social dilemmas occur when incentives for individuals are misaligned with
group interests 1-7 . According to the ''tragedy of the commons'', these misalignments
can lead to overexploitation and collapse of public resources. The resulting behaviours
can be analysed with the tools of game theory 8 . The theory of direct reciprocity
9-15 suggests that repeated interactions can alleviate such dilemmas, but previous
work has assumed that the public resource remains constant over time. Here we
introduce the idea that the public resource is instead changeable and depends
on the strategic choices of individuals. An intuitive scenario is that cooperation
increases the public resource, whereas defection decreases it. Thus, cooperation
allows the possibility of playing a more valuable game with higher payoffs, whereas
defection leads to a less valuable game. We analyse this idea using the theory
of stochastic games 16-19 and evolutionary game theory. We find that the dependence
of the public resource on previous interactions can greatly enhance the propensity
for cooperation. For these results, the interaction between reciprocity and payoff
feedback is crucial: neither repeated interactions in a constant environment nor
single interactions in a changing environment yield similar cooperation rates.
Our framework shows which feedbacks between exploitation and environment - either
naturally occurring or designed - help to overcome social dilemmas.'

text: 'Reciprocity is a major factor in human social life and accounts for a large
part of cooperation in our communities. Direct reciprocity arises when repeated
interactions occur between the same individuals. The framework of iterated games
formalizes this phenomenon. Despite being introduced more than five decades ago,
the concept keeps offering beautiful surprises. Recent theoretical research driven
by new mathematical tools has proposed a remarkable dichotomy among the crucial
strategies: successful individuals either act as partners or as rivals. Rivals
strive for unilateral advantages by applying selfish or extortionate strategies.
Partners aim to share the payoff for mutual cooperation, but are ready to fight
back when being exploited. Which of these behaviours evolves depends on the environment.
Whereas small population sizes and a limited number of rounds favour rivalry,
partner strategies are selected when populations are large and relationships stable.
Only partners allow for evolution of cooperation, while the rivals’ attempt to
put themselves first leads to defection. Hilbe et al. synthesize recent theoretical
work on zero-determinant and ‘rival’ versus ‘partner’ strategies in social dilemmas.
They describe the environments under which these contrasting selfish or cooperative
strategies emerge in evolution.'

text: People sometimes make their admirable deeds and accomplishments hard to spot,
such as by giving anonymously or avoiding bragging. Such ‘buried’ signals are
hard to reconcile with standard models of signalling or indirect reciprocity,
which motivate costly pro-social behaviour by reputational gains. To explain these
phenomena, we design a simple game theory model, which we call the signal-burying
game. This game has the feature that senders can bury their signal by deliberately
reducing the probability of the signal being observed. If the signal is observed,
however, it is identified as having been buried. We show under which conditions
buried signals can be maintained, using static equilibrium concepts and calculations
of the evolutionary dynamics. We apply our analysis to shed light on a number
of otherwise puzzling social phenomena, including modesty, anonymous donations,
subtlety in art and fashion, and overeagerness.

text: Indirect reciprocity explores how humans act when their reputation is at stake,
and which social norms they use to assess the actions of others. A crucial question
in indirect reciprocity is which social norms can maintain stable cooperation
in a society. Past research has highlighted eight such norms, called “leading-eight”
strategies. This past research, however, is based on the assumption that all relevant
information about other population members is publicly available and that everyone
agrees on who is good or bad. Instead, here we explore the reputation dynamics
when information is private and noisy. We show that under these conditions, most
leading-eight strategies fail to evolve. Those leading-eight strategies that do
evolve are unable to sustain full cooperation.Indirect reciprocity is a mechanism
for cooperation based on shared moral systems and individual reputations. It assumes
that members of a community routinely observe and assess each other and that they
use this information to decide who is good or bad, and who deserves cooperation.
When information is transmitted publicly, such that all community members agree
on each other’s reputation, previous research has highlighted eight crucial moral
systems. These “leading-eight” strategies can maintain cooperation and resist
invasion by defectors. However, in real populations individuals often hold their
own private views of others. Once two individuals disagree about their opinion
of some third party, they may also see its subsequent actions in a different light.
Their opinions may further diverge over time. Herein, we explore indirect reciprocity
when information transmission is private and noisy. We find that in the presence
of perception errors, most leading-eight strategies cease to be stable. Even if
a leading-eight strategy evolves, cooperation rates may drop considerably when
errors are common. Our research highlights the role of reliable information and
synchronized reputations to maintain stable moral systems.

text: Humans routinely use conditionally cooperative strategies when interacting
in repeated social dilemmas. They are more likely to cooperate if others cooperated
before, and are ready to retaliate if others defected. To capture the emergence
of reciprocity, most previous models consider subjects who can only choose from
a restricted set of representative strategies, or who react to the outcome of
the very last round only. As players memorize more rounds, the dimension of the
strategy space increases exponentially. This increasing computational complexity
renders simulations for individuals with higher cognitive abilities infeasible,
especially if multiplayer interactions are taken into account. Here, we take an
axiomatic approach instead. We propose several properties that a robust cooperative
strategy for a repeated multiplayer dilemma should have. These properties naturally
lead to a unique class of cooperative strategies, which contains the classical
Win-Stay Lose-Shift rule as a special case. A comprehensive numerical analysis
for the prisoner's dilemma and for the public goods game suggests that strategies
of this class readily evolve across various memory-n spaces. Our results reveal
that successful strategies depend not only on how cooperative others were in the
past but also on the respective context of cooperation.

text: 'In antagonistic symbioses, such as host–parasite interactions, one population’s
success is the other’s loss. In mutualistic symbioses, such as division of labor,
both parties can gain, but they might have different preferences over the possible
mutualistic arrangements. The rates of evolution of the two populations in a symbiosis
are important determinants of which population will be more successful: Faster
evolution is thought to be favored in antagonistic symbioses (the “Red Queen effect”),
but disfavored in certain mutualistic symbioses (the “Red King effect”). However,
it remains unclear which biological parameters drive these effects. Here, we analyze
the effects of the various determinants of evolutionary rate: generation time,
mutation rate, population size, and the intensity of natural selection. Our main
results hold for the case where mutation is infrequent. Slower evolution causes
a long-term advantage in an important class of mutualistic interactions. Surprisingly,
less intense selection is the strongest driver of this Red King effect, whereas
relative mutation rates and generation times have little effect. In antagonistic
interactions, faster evolution by any means is beneficial. Our results provide
insight into the demographic evolution of symbionts. '

text: Social dilemmas force players to balance between personal and collective gain.
In many dilemmas, such as elected governments negotiating climate-change mitigation
measures, the decisions are made not by individual players but by their representatives.
However, the behaviour of representatives in social dilemmas has not been investigated
experimentally. Here inspired by the negotiations for greenhouse-gas emissions
reductions, we experimentally study a collective-risk social dilemma that involves
representatives deciding on behalf of their fellow group members. Representatives
can be re-elected or voted out after each consecutive collective-risk game. Selfish
players are preferentially elected and are hence found most frequently in the
"representatives" treatment. Across all treatments, we identify the
selfish players as extortioners. As predicted by our mathematical model, their
steadfast strategies enforce cooperation from fair players who finally compensate
almost completely the deficit caused by the extortionate co-players. Everybody
gains, but the extortionate representatives and their groups gain the most.

text: 'Brood parasites exploit their host in order to increase their own fitness.
Typically, this results in an arms race between parasite trickery and host defence.
Thus, it is puzzling to observe hosts that accept parasitism without any resistance.
The ‘mafia’ hypothesis suggests that these hosts accept parasitism to avoid retaliation.
Retaliation has been shown to evolve when the hosts condition their response to
mafia parasites, who use depredation as a targeted response to rejection. However,
it is unclear if acceptance would also emerge when ‘farming’ parasites are present
in the population. Farming parasites use depredation to synchronize the timing
with the host, destroying mature clutches to force the host to re-nest. Herein,
we develop an evolutionary model to analyse the interaction between depredatory
parasites and their hosts. We show that coevolutionary cycles between farmers
and mafia can still induce host acceptance of brood parasites. However, this equilibrium
is unstable and in the long-run the dynamics of this host–parasite interaction
exhibits strong oscillations: when farmers are the majority, accepters conditional
to mafia (the host will reject first and only accept after retaliation by the
parasite) have a higher fitness than unconditional accepters (the host always
accepts parasitism). This leads to an increase in mafia parasites’ fitness and
in turn induce an optimal environment for accepter hosts.'

text: 'Direct reciprocity is a mechanism for the evolution of cooperation based
on repeated interactions. When individuals meet repeatedly, they can use conditional
strategies to enforce cooperative outcomes that would not be feasible in one-shot
social dilemmas. Direct reciprocity requires that individuals keep track of their
past interactions and find the right response. However, there are natural bounds
on strategic complexity: Humans find it difficult to remember past interactions
accurately, especially over long timespans. Given these limitations, it is natural
to ask how complex strategies need to be for cooperation to evolve. Here, we study
stochastic evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations to systematically
compare the evolutionary performance of reactive strategies, which only respond
to the co-player''s previous move, and memory-one strategies, which take into
account the own and the co-player''s previous move. In both cases, we compare
deterministic strategy and stochastic strategy spaces. For reactive strategies
and small costs, we find that stochasticity benefits cooperation, because it allows
for generous-tit-for-tat. For memory one strategies and small costs, we find that
stochasticity does not increase the propensity for cooperation, because the deterministic
rule of win-stay, lose-shift works best. For memory one strategies and large costs,
however, stochasticity can augment cooperation.'

text: Direct reciprocity is a major mechanism for the evolution of cooperation.
Several classical studies have suggested that humans should quickly learn to adopt
reciprocal strategies to establish mutual cooperation in repeated interactions.
On the other hand, the recently discovered theory of ZD strategies has found that
subjects who use extortionate strategies are able to exploit and subdue cooperators.
Although such extortioners have been predicted to succeed in any population of
adaptive opponents, theoretical follow-up studies questioned whether extortion
can evolve in reality. However, most of these studies presumed that individuals
have similar strategic possibilities and comparable outside options, whereas asymmetries
are ubiquitous in real world applications. Here we show with a model and an economic
experiment that extortionate strategies readily emerge once subjects differ in
their strategic power. Our experiment combines a repeated social dilemma with
asymmetric partner choice. In our main treatment there is one randomly chosen
group member who is unilaterally allowed to exchange one of the other group members
after every ten rounds of the social dilemma. We find that this asymmetric replacement
opportunity generally promotes cooperation, but often the resulting payoff distribution
reflects the underlying power structure. Almost half of the subjects in a better
strategic position turn into extortioners, who quickly proceed to exploit their
peers. By adapting their cooperation probabilities consistent with ZD theory,
extortioners force their co-players to cooperate without being similarly cooperative
themselves. Comparison to non-extortionate players under the same conditions indicates
a substantial net gain to extortion. Our results thus highlight how power asymmetries
can endanger mutually beneficial interactions, and transform them into exploitative
relationships. In particular, our results indicate that the extortionate strategies
predicted from ZD theory could play a more prominent role in our daily interactions
than previously thought.
