This lecture explores the ecological foundations of evolutionary conflicts in aggregative multicellularity, presented by Silvia De Monte at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into how cooperation emerges across biological scales from cells to societies, with particular focus on aggregative multicellular organisms. Learn about the organizing principles behind the evolution of cooperation through perspectives spanning biological communities, mathematical modeling, cognitive science, social network dynamics, and behavioral economics. Understand how Evolutionary Game Theory provides a framework for addressing questions in both biological and cultural evolution. Part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program, this presentation contributes to interdisciplinary discussions on how individual choices in social conflicts are affected by environmental factors and population network structures, the evolution of individual behavior and its impact on population outcomes, and the role of learning in the evolution of individual choices.
