Stochastic evolution of staying together.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Nov 2014

Ghang Whan, Nowak Martin A

Abstract excerpt

Staying together means that replicating units do not separate after reproduction, but remain attached to each other or in close proximity. Staying together is a driving force for evolution of complexity, including the evolution of multi-cellularity and eusociality. We analyze the fixation probability of a mutant that has the ability to stay together. We assume that the size of the complex affects the reproductive...
