A unifying framework reveals key properties of multilevel selection.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Jan 2014

Luo Shishi

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection can act at multiple biological levels, often in opposing directions. Viral evolution is an important example, with selection occurring both within infected hosts and between hosts via transmission. A fast-replicating virus may outcompete a slower strain within the same host, however, if rapid viral replication incapacitates the host, this fast-replicating virus may not be transmitted as...
