This lecture explores the concept of improving community function through community selection, presented by Wenying Shou as part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into evolutionary game theory principles applied to biological communities, examining how cooperation emerges across different biological scales from cells to societies. Learn about the organizing principles behind the evolution of cooperation through perspectives from biological communities, mathematical modeling, cognitive science, social network dynamics, and behavioral economics. The lecture contributes to a broader program bringing together biologists, cognitive scientists, economists, and physicists to foster cross-disciplinary understanding of decision-making processes across all scales. Particularly valuable for PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members working in related fields, this presentation addresses how community selection mechanisms can enhance collective functions in biological systems.
