The collective-risk social dilemma and the prevention of simulated dangerous climate change
- M. Milinski, R. Sommerfeld, Hans-Jürgen Krambeck, F. Reed, J. Marotzke
- Economics, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 19 February 2008
Will a group of people reach a collective target through individual contributions when everyone suffers individually if the target is missed? This “collective-risk social dilemma” exists in various… Expand
Female sticklebacks count alleles in a strategy of sexual selection explaining MHC polymorphism
- T. Reusch, M. Häberli, P. Aeschlimann, M. Milinski
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 15 November 2001
The origin and maintenance of polymorphism in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in natural populations is still unresolved. Sexual selection, frequency-dependent selection by parasites and… Expand
The Major Histocompatibility Complex, Sexual Selection, and Mate Choice
- M. Milinski
- Biology
- 7 November 2006
AbstractTo maintain sexual reproduction, recombination of good genes through selective mate choice must achieve a twofold genetic benefit in each generation. “Fragrant” immune genes of the major… Expand
TIT FOR TAT in sticklebacks and the evolution of cooperation
- M. Milinski
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 1987
The problems of achieving mutual cooperation can be formalized in a game called the Prisoner's Dilemma in which selfish defection is always more rewarding than cooperation1. If the two protagonists… Expand
Mate choice decisions of stickleback females predictably modified by MHC peptide ligands.
- M. Milinski, S. Griffiths, K. M. Wegner, T. Reusch, A. Haas-Assenbaum, T. Boehm
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 22 March 2005
Sexual selection has been proposed as one mechanism to explain the maintenance of high allelic diversity in MHC genes that control the extent of resistance against pathogens and parasites in natural… Expand
Female sticklebacks use male coloration in mate choice and hence avoid parasitized males
- M. Milinski, T. Bakker
- Biology
- Nature
- 22 March 1990
AN important problem in evolutionary biology since the time of Darwin has been to understand why females preferentially mate with males handicapped by secondary sexual ornaments1–3. One hypothesis of… Expand
Human strategy updating in evolutionary games
- A. Traulsen, D. Semmann, R. Sommerfeld, Hans-Jürgen Krambeck, M. Milinski
- Computer Science, Biology
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

TLDR
Risk of Predation of Parasitized Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus Aculeatus L.) Under Competition for Food
- M. Milinski
- Biology
- 1985
Three-spined sticklebacks which were either unparasitized, heavily infested by plerocercoids of the cestode Schistocephalus solidus, or parasitized by the sporozoan Glugea anomala were singly offered… Expand
Optimal growth strategies of larval helminths in their intermediate hosts
- G. Parker, J. C. Chubb, G. Roberts, M. Michaud, M. Milinski
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of evolutionary biology
- 1 January 2003
We consider optimal growth of larval stages in complex parasite life cycles where there is no constraint because of host immune responses. Our model predicts an individual's asymptotic size in its… Expand
MHC‐based mate choice combines good genes and maintenance of MHC polymorphism
- C. Eizaguirre, S. Yeates, T. Lenz, M. Kalbe, M. Milinski
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 August 2009
Polymorphic genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are regarded as essential genes for individual fitness under conditions of natural and sexual selection. To test this hypothesis, we… Expand
