The evolution of coercive policing in genetically mixed groups: the case of plasmid copy number control

2016-05-22

Abstract excerpt

Policing is a widespread mechanism regulating cooperation in both human and animal social groups. Policing can promote the evolution and maintenance of cooperation among non-relatives by tying the reproductive success of individuals to the efficiency and success of the group. In this paper, we investigate the evolution of reproductive policing using a multi-scale computational model inspired by the copy number con...
