Excited to share my latest paper, co-written with @geoffwild , titled
"Evolution of redirected help with stepping-stone dispersal"!

Here, we ask how the way individuals are dispersing 🔀 changes how they are helping each other after a brood failure 🚫 🪺.

[Alan Flatrès @MenthAlan]

One of our results shows that local dispersal, by increasing the competition between relatives, can not only prevent the evolution of helping but also promote the evolution of harmful behavior between relatives 👿

[Alan Flatrès @MenthAlan]

Our results provide a new perspective on the evolution of altruistic behaviors and highlight the importance of life-history.

My second paper, written with @geoffwild, has been published in @journal_evo! Title: Selective advantages of redirected helping in a viscous population: https://t.co/TBwUjiiFrs

[Alan Flatrès @MenthAlan]

The emergence of redirected help depends on the benefits provided and on life-history features such as brood failure, dispersal, and survival rates.

After a successful defense, I finally finished my PhD at Western University!! My thesis focuses on the impacts of group living features on the evolution of altruistic behaviors. Huge thanks to @geoffwild for the fantastic supervision!

It is such a great honour to have Hanna Kokko @kokkonutter at #EMPSEB29 conference.

It was a great talk, bridging theoretical and empirical point of view to understand sex evolution in different systems.
