The concurrent evolution of cooperation and the population structures that support it.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2011

Powers Simon T, Penn Alexandra S, Watson Richard A

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of cooperation often depends upon population structure, yet nearly all models of cooperation implicitly assume that this structure remains static. This is a simplifying assumption, because most organisms possess genetic traits that affect their population structure to some degree. These traits, such as a group size preference, affect the relatedness of interacting individuals and hence the...
