Measuring cheating, fitness, and segregation in Dictyostelium discoideum.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

Dictyostelium has become a model organism for the study of social evolution because of the stage in its life cycle where thousands of independent amoebae together form a fruiting body. Some individuals die to form a stalk that holds aloft the remaining cells for dispersal to new environments as spores. Different genotypes can aggregate together, creating opportunities for exploitation by cheaters that contribute...
