Selfish altruism, fierce cooperation and the predator*
- PhilosophyJournal of biological dynamics
- 2018
It is shown how, in the presence of a predator, cooperative equilibria emerge among entirely selfish teammates if the authors infinitesimally bias the lead player in the selfish direction or assign a computational burden on the predator due to the presenceof a teammate.
On prey grouping and predator confusion in artifical fish schools
- Environmental Science
- 2006
In two simulation models the benefit of schooling under predatory pressure is investigated. It appears that if a pre dator cannot become confused by prey, grouping is seldom beneficial. If prey,…
Consequences of variation in predator attack for the evolution of the selfish herd
- MathematicsEvolutionary Ecology
- 2014
It is found that complex rules outperform simple ones under a range of predator attack strategies, but that simple rules can fix in populations particularly when they are already in the majority, suggesting strong positive frequency dependence in rule success.
Collective Motion as an Ultimate Effect in Crowded Selfish Herds
- PsychologyScientific Reports
- 2019
This work proposes an evolutionary model to simulate the adaptation of egoistic social prey to predation given that individual mobility is strictly restrained by the presence of other conspecifics and reveals that including the crowding effect with the selfish herd scenario permits additional diversity in the predicted outcomes.
Mechanisms for aggregation in animals: rule success depends on ecological variables
- Environmental Science
- 2008
Investigating the reduction in risk for animals aggregating using different strategies and demonstrating the importance of ecological parameters on risk reduction in group-living animals finds that complex rules are most successful at reducing risk in small, compact populations, whereas simpler rules are more successful in larger, low-density populations.
Evolving the selfish herd: emergence of distinct aggregating strategies in an individual-based model
- BiologyProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
- 2007
This work suggests that flock or herd formation is likely to be driven by predator avoidance, and adopts an individual-based model for group formation and subject it to simulated predation and foraging; the haploid individuals evolve via a genetic algorithm based on their relative success under such pressure.
The temporal selfish herd: predation risk while aggregations form
- Environmental ScienceProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
- 2010
This work investigates the success of mutant aggregation strategies invading populations of individuals using alternative strategies and finds that the invasion dynamics depend critically on the time scale of movement.

A number of experiments during incubation showed that egg removal and nest mutilation beyond the cutting of small holes resulted in desertion, and the sudden removal of nests with eggs resulted in the complete breakdown of both territories and pair bonds.
