On the evolution of emergence patterns driven by environmental cycles

The paper models the evolution of emergence patterns in Clunio insects using replicator-mutator dynamics, showing how phenotypic variability and environmental cycles influence population-level synchronization.

Social wound care dynamics in an army ant society

This study shows that social wound care can evolve in large groups, driven by injury rates and lethality rather than group size, using army ants as a case study.

Optimising play for learning risky behaviour

The paper shows that early-life structured play in a safe environment improves learning-based adaptation in risky adult environments through reinforcement learning models.
