Evolution of cooperation and conflict in experimental bacterial populations
PB Rainey, K Rainey - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
A fundamental problem in biology is the evolutionary transition from single cells to
multicellular life forms,,. During this transition the unit of selection shifts from individual cells …

Does similarity breed cooperation?
G Roberts, TN Sherratt - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
Reciprocity, whether direct or indirect, is thought to be the key to establishing cooperation
among non-relatives. But Riolo et al. have presented a model in which cooperation is …

Siderophore-mediated cooperation and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Why should organisms cooperate with each other? Helping close relatives that are likely to
share the same genes (kin selection) is one important explanation that is likely to apply …

[HTML][HTML] Self-destructive cooperation mediated by phenotypic noise
In many biological examples of cooperation, individuals that cooperate cannot benefit from
the resulting public good. This is especially clear in cases of self-destructive cooperation …

[HTML][HTML] Antagonistic coevolution accelerates molecular evolution
Abstract The Red Queen hypothesis proposes that coevolution of interacting species (such
as hosts and parasites) should drive molecular evolution through continual natural selection …

Density dependence and cooperation: theory and a test with bacteria
Although cooperative systems can persist in nature despite the potential for exploitation by
noncooperators, it is often observed that small changes in population demography can tip …
