Aspects common to all models All models share the same stochastic, time-since-infection transmission process8,58: each infected individual makes infectious contacts at a rate described by a function βω(τ), where the total infectivity β depends on the ages of the infector and the other contacted person, as well as on the environment (i.e., within or outside […] More

Eco-evolutionary games First we describe a general framework for modeling eco-evolutionary feedbacks, and then we analyze linear two-strategy eco-evolutionary games. We characterize the range of possible dynamical behaviors in these systems, and we apply this analysis to several case studies drawn from a range of disciplines. Eco-evolutionary games occur when evolutionary game dynamics are environmentally […] More

CAREER COLUMN 14 February 2020 Gabriel Waksman found a personal way to overcome his eco-anxiety and combat his carbon emissions — by planting native woodlands.
