High relatedness in a social amoeba: the role of kin-discriminatory segregation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jul 2012

Gilbert Owen M, Strassmann Joan E, Queller David C

Abstract excerpt

A major challenge for social theory is to explain the importance of kin discrimination for the evolution of altruism. One way to assess the importance of kin discrimination is to test its effects on increasing relatedness within groups. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum aggregates to form a fruiting body composed of dead stalk and live spores. Previous studies of a natural population showed that where D....
