The evolution of spite: population structure and bacteriocin-mediated antagonism in two natural populations of xenorhabdus bacteria.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2010

Hawlena Hadas, Bashey Farrah, Lively Curtis M

Abstract excerpt

Spite occurs when an individual harms itself in the act of harming other individuals. Such behaviors were once assumed to be of limited evolutionary importance, as the conditions for the evolution of spite were thought to be too restrictive. Recent theoretical work, however, suggests that spatial population structure, which allows local competition among genotypes, could favor the evolution of spite. One of the...
