An escape from ‘the prisoner's dilemma‘

Conventional escapes from the paradox that noncooperation between two organisms may be rational, even when cooperation would yield a higher reward to each, are based on the mechanism of reciprocity; but an analytical model of foraging among oviposition sites reveals a more immediate rationale, namely, equivalence of selfishness and altruism. The resulting game is unconditionally the prisoner's dilemma if the players have perfect recognition; however, in the absence thereof and for three different parameter regimes, it yields either the prisoner's dilemma, or two evolutionarily stable strategies, or a unique cooperative ESS. Thus unrecognition can favor cooperation; and environments can exist in which cooperation persists, or even invades, without reciprocity. The results suggest that different mechanisms for cooperation may operate at different levels of neural complexity.

‘Ins’ and ‘outs’ of triple therapy

Chronic oral anticoagulant treatment is obligatory in patients (class I) with mechanical heart valves and in patients with atrial fibrillation with CHADS2 score >1. When these patients undergo percutaneous coronary intervention with placement of a stent, there is also an indication for treatment with aspirin and clopidogrel. Unfortunately, triple therapy is known to increase the bleeding risk. For this group of patients, the bottom line is to find the ideal therapy in patients with indications for both chronic anticoagulation therapy and percutaneous intervention to prevent thromboembolic complications such as stent thrombosis without increasing the risk of bleeding.

Defining ‘Life’

There is no broadly accepted definition of life. Suggested definitions face problems, often in theform of robust counter-examples. Here we use insights fromphilosophical investigations into language to argue thatdefining `life' currently poses a dilemma analogous to thatfaced by those hoping to define `water' before the existenceof molecular theory. In the absence of an analogous theoryof the nature of living systems, interminable controversyover the definition of life is inescapable.
