Frequency dependence and cooperation: theory and a test with bacteria.

The American naturalist - 1 Sept 2007

Ross-Gillespie Adin, Gardner Andy, West Stuart A, Griffin Ashleigh S

Abstract excerpt

Hamilton's inclusive fitness theory provides a leading explanation for the problem of cooperation. A general result from inclusive fitness theory is that, except under restrictive conditions, cooperation should not be subject to frequency-dependent selection. However, several recent studies in mi...
