Article Abstract
Gaining insight into the mechanisms of zoonotic disease transmission in both animal and human populations is essential for implementing effective measures to control the disease spread and mitigate its impact. This paper employs an evolutionary game theory framework to analyze the intricate dynamics of Monkeypox (mpox) epidemics across diverse networks, including scale-free and random regular networks with four network settings (BA-BA, ER-ER, BA-ER, and ER-BA) in both humans and animals. We investigate how individual behaviors and interactions influence the spread of diseases in different populations by combining network structures with evolutionary game dynamics. The results of our research reveal complex patterns, including the emergence of super-spreaders who transmit the disease to numerous others and the impact of the network structure on the disease's persistence and transmission. Furthermore, we demonstrate the practicality of this method in clarifying crucial elements that drive the spatial and temporal expansion of mpox, providing a valuable understanding of the efficacy of focused intervention strategies. Our work emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in understanding the complex dynamics of infectious diseases and informing public health responses.

We develop a model that integrates evolutionary matrix game theory with Mendelian genetics. Within this framework, we define the genotype dynamics that describes how the frequencies of genotypes change in sexual diploid populations. We show that our formal definition of evolutionary stability for genotype distributions implies the stability of the corresponding interior equilibrium point in the genotype dynamics.

This study aims to improve the market efficiency of intellectual property pledge financing, based on the perspective of willingness to perform of technology-based SMEs, this paper defined the end-of-period value conversion coefficient of pledged property (EVCC) to measure the comparative relationship between the end-of-period value of the pledged intellectual property and the sum of principal and interest of the loan and introduced it into the game payment matrix; using evolutionary game theory, based on the assumption of bounded rationality, an evolutionary game model of intellectual property pledge financing between technology-based SMEs and banks based on the EVCC was constructed, and a numerical simulation was then conducted. The results of asymptotic stability analysis showed that when a certain condition is met, the strategy combination (performance, loan) is the evolutionary stability strategy (ESS). The numerical simulation showed that the EVCC has a positive impact on the speed of technology-based SMEs choosing the performance strategy, and there is a positive threshold effect (The threshold is 0.

Fisheries are an important source of protein for humans. Currently, freshwater and coastal aquaculture fisheries, as well as capture fisheries, have reached saturation point in terms of development potential and are severely polluted, making the supply of aquatic products unsustainable. Deep-sea aquaculture utilizes the vast exploitable space of the open sea, breaking through the limitations of coastal waters and land.

Theory predicts that high population density leads to more strongly connected spatial and social networks, but how local density drives individuals' positions within their networks is unclear. This gap reduces our ability to understand and predict density-dependent processes. Here we show that density drives greater network connectedness at the scale of individuals within wild animal populations.
