The coevolution of cooperation and dispersal in social groups and its implications for the emergence of multicellularity.

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 Aug 2008

Hochberg Michael E, Rankin Daniel J, Taborsky Michael

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent work on the complexity of life highlights the roles played by evolutionary forces at different levels of individuality. One of the central puzzles in explaining transitions in individuality for entities ranging from complex cells, to multicellular organisms and societies, is how different autonomous units relinquish control over their functions to others in the group. In addition to the...
