🚨New article in Proc B:
"Reciprocity evolves more readily in competitive than cooperative socio-ecologies"

Using agent-based evolutionary models, we show that reciprocity emerges more reliably in competitive environments with high exploitation risk.

Happy to have this paper out at Collective Intelligence, w/ Andrew Tilman, Vitor Vasconcelos, and @jplotkin.bsky.social, looking at the evolution of forecasting in eco-evolutionary games and finding both neat and funky stuff. See Josh’s 🧵 below. 🧪
🚨The evolution of forecasting for decision-making in dynamic environments🚨

We explore a middle ground between rational economic and myopic evolutionary theories, when decisions feedback on environmental states.

I agree. I always handled it such that RAs who contributed to all stages of a project and were also interested in engaging in the writing process became co-authors.

"If RA's are paid..."
With all due respect to the author, I never got that argument, yet heard it so many times. The criteria for paper co-authorship is debatable, but how on earth is it related to the payment? Profs get paid, as do postdocs, and PhDs(hopefully). How this a thing is an argument?
