Genetic architecture promotes the evolution and maintenance of cooperation.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Jan 2013

Frénoy Antoine, Taddei François, Misevic Dusan

Abstract excerpt

When cooperation has a direct cost and an indirect benefit, a selfish behavior is more likely to be selected for than an altruistic one. Kin and group selection do provide evolutionary explanations for the stability of cooperation in nature, but we still lack the full understanding of the genomic mechanisms that can prevent cheater invasion. In our study we used Aevol, an agent-based, in silico genomic platform...
