Frequency-dependent selection fosters the diversity of populations but does not always increase the average fitness of the population
Fitness, on the other hand, does not necessarily rise with frequency-dependent selection

The expectations people have about how others will behave play a large role in determining whether people cooperate with each other or not. And moreover that very first expectation, or impression, is hard to change. „This is particularly true when the impression is a negative one,“ says Michael Kurschilgen from the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods in Bonn, summarising the key findings of a study in which he and his colleagues Christoph Engel and Sebastian Kube examined the results of so-called public good games. One’s own expectation thereby becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: those who expect people to act selfishly, actually experience uncooperative behaviour from others more often.
In Bonn, on the other hand, the figure was 82 per cent.

Hydrogen is one of the energy sources of the future. But just when this environmentally friendly substance will be adopted on a large scale to fuel our cars remains to be seen.
On the other hand, gaseous hydrogen must be stored in exceptionally stable containers
The researchers are hoping that the landing on the comet’s nucleus will provide them with unique insights into the early history of the planetary system.
The sensor plates can be seen at the top and on the left-hand side.
Synthetic fuels could make heavy goods traffic climate-friendly in the future. A team from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion, RWTH Aachen University, and ETH Zurich is now presenting a synthesis route that can be used to produce a fuel, known as HyFiT fuel, made from biomass or CO2 that can be used to refuel conventional combustion engine
it is important that the fuel has the highest possible cetane number, on the one hand
