Social evolution: this microbe will self-destruct.

Current biology : CB - 11 Nov 2008

Gardner Andy, Kümmerli Rolf

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic noise and social evolution in microbes have recently attracted huge interdisciplinary interest. A new study highlights the interaction between these phenomena and its implications for self-destructive cooperation.
