RECENT WORK
The waning moon pattern. It can be seen not only on the Moon, but on clustered cooperators as well.
Sharing what we know is good for cooperation. Even if the bad guys share too.
Relying on emotions rather than strategies to achieve cooperation? Works well. Emotions on lattices go too.
Trends of progress. What moved physics forward? See culturomics of physics.
I will punish, but only if you will do it too. Does this lead to public cooperation?
Interdependent network reciprocity. Going beyond spatial reciprocity in the pursuit of cooperation.
How much do we need new words? Languages cool as they expand.
How to avoid group failures in collective-risk dilemmas? Don't forget to migrate too.
Seasons change. Networks in the suprachiasmatic nucleus do too, accordingly!
Are groups smarter than individuals? For resolving social dilemmas surely yes.
Carrot or the stick? Replay. Previous results are here. See the whole collection.
Bargained recently? Learn why it can be very complex. Don't forget to be precise.
What do social networks and most common English words have in common? Check out the rankings.
Should we punish? Yes, but only when necessary, as per self-organization.
Population density and the evolution of cooperation. Percolation threshold rules! For pairwise games too.
What can millions of books teach us about the nature of natural and social pheno- mena? Find out here.
I will cooperate, but only if you will do it too. A good attitude for social welfare?
Interdependent networks. Exploring biased utilities to arrive at cooperation.
Games governed by group and pairwise interactions. Heterogeneity does help! But it matters whether one is in a group or not.
Three's a crowd? Not if you want cooperation.
The Gospel of St. Matthew states "For to all those who have, more will be given". What does it mean for the evolution of cooperation?
Sanctioning institutions. Is peer-punishment better? Check out our overview.
