Cooperation is crucial for human prosperity, and population structure fosters it through pairwise interactions and coordinated behavior in larger groups.

A recent study explores the evolution of behavioral strategies in higher-order population structures, including pairwise and multi-way interactions to reveal that higher-order interactions promote cooperation across networks, especially when they are formed by conjoined communities.
