Cooperation and conflict in the evolution of individuality. II. Conflict mediation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 1996

Michod R E

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary transitions in the units of selection require the promotion of cooperation and the regulation of conflict among the lower level units. For multicellular organisms to emerge as a new unit of selection, the selfish tendencies of their component cells had to be controlled. Theoretical results indicate organisms may regulate this internal conflict and competition in several ways: by reducing the somatic...
