Study of the dynamical and structural stability of evolutionary multiplayer games -part 2

Whereas many current models of population interactions explore food web dynamics, where individuals at a higher trophic level forage on individuals on the lower trophic level and compete with individuals at the same trophic level, there are many other interactions not considered by such food web models [66]. These latter interactions include, e.g., host-parasitoid, host-pathogen and plant-pollinator interactions. We will study effects of behavioural, ecological and/or evolutionary dynamics on biodiversity in such interaction networks. We will combine methods of EGT with differential equations as well as agent-based simulations that allow for heterogeneity in a range of individual characteristics.
