During the past half century, social evolution theory developed into a mature field with powerful tools to understand the dynamics of social traits such as cooperation under a wide range of conditions. But when these conditions themselves evolve remains a largely open question, which I argue represents the next step in the development of social evolution theory. In this talk, I will present a few examples of such co-evolutionary dynamics leading to unexpected results. In particular I will talk about two models where social network structure co-evolves with (i) a social trait such as cooperation, and (ii) with cumulative culture, and a third model where the strategies individuals play in a game co-evolves with the resource environment that determines with game is being played.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/erolakcay.wordpress.com\/\u0022\u003EAbout the Ak\u0026ccedil;ay Lab\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Biological Sciences Seminar"}],"uid":"27964","created_gmt":"2018-08-30 21:54:42","changed_gmt":"2018-11-12 14:41:53","author":"Jasmine Martin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-11-15T10:55:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2018-11-15T10:55:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-11-15T10:55:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-11-15 15:55:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-11-15 15:55:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-11-15 15:55:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166892","name":"School of Biological Sciences Seminar"},{"id":"178915","name":"Erol Akcay"},{"id":"108591","name":"Will Ratcliff"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jasmine.martin@biosci.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EJasmine Martin\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
