Shape matters: lifecycle of cooperative patches promotes cooperation in bulky populations.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2015

Misevic Dusan, Frénoy Antoine, Lindner Ariel B, Taddei François

Abstract excerpt

Natural cooperative systems take many forms, ranging from one-dimensional cyanobacteria arrays to fractal-like biofilms. We use in silico experimental systems to study a previously overlooked factor in the evolution of cooperation, physical shape of the population. We compare the emergence and maintenance of cooperation in populations of digital organisms that inhabit bulky (100 × 100 cells) or slender (4 × 2500)...
