We propose a model of how a maladaptive and competitive system of musical interaction, based on a notion of enchantment, can evolve towards a cooperative system. This model supports our position that social competitive models comprise an important domain of theoretical investigation in the evolution of musical behaviour, and that this area deserves more attention. The model is based on the biocultural theory of Boyd and Richerson (1985), which provides a basis for runaway cultural evolutionary processes, and we argue that our model offers an alternative runaway process to the sexual selection theory of the evolution of human musical behaviour. We present computer simulations in which a population of artificial agents engage in a competitive game of interaction in a context in which fitness is socially determined. These simulations demonstrate cases of the genetic evolution of perceptual systems and increasing susceptibility to manipulation by stimuli generated by other individuals. However, this latter outcome generally reduces to a standard kin selection model. We discuss these results and propose ways in which the model could be developed to consider more complex contexts and modes of interaction.

Effect of resource availability on evolution of virulence and competition in an environmentally transmitted pathogen
Pulkkinen, Katja; Pekkala, Nina; Ashrafi, Roghaieh; Hämäläinen, Dorrit M.; Nkembeng, Aloysius N.; Lipponen, Anssi; Hiltunen, Teppo; Valkonen, Janne; Taskinen, Jouni (Federation of European Microbiological Societies; Oxford University Press, 2018)Understanding ecological and epidemiological factors driving pathogen evolution in contemporary time scales is a major challenge in modern health management. Pathogens that replicate outside the hosts are subject to selection ... -

Assortment, but not knowledge of assortment, affects cooperation and individual success in human groups
Junikka, Jaakko; Molleman, Lucas; van den Berg, Pieter; Weissing, Franz J.; Puurtinen, Mikael (Public Library of Science, 2017)The success or failure of human collective action often depends on the cooperation tendencies of individuals in groups, and on the information that individuals have about each other’s cooperativeness. However, it is ... -
Implications of size‐selective fisheries on sexual selection
Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)Fisheries often combine high mortality with intensive size‐selectivity and can, thus, be expected to reduce body size and size variability in exploited populations. In many fish species, body size is a sexually selected ... -
Coinfection outcome in an opportunistic pathogen depends on the inter-strain interactions
Kinnula, Hanna; Mappes, Johanna; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (BioMed Central, 2017)Background: In nature, organisms are commonly coinfected by two or more parasite strains, which has been shown to influence disease virulence. Yet, the effects of coinfections of environmental opportunistic pathogens ...
