Pleiotropy and the low cost of individual traits promote cooperation.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2016

Mitri Sara, Foster Kevin R

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of cooperation is thought to be promoted by pleiotropy, whereby cooperative traits are coregulated with traits that are important for personal fitness. However, this hypothesis faces a key challenge: what happens if mutation targets a cooperative trait specifically rather than the pleiotropic regulator? Here, we explore this question with the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which cooperatively...
