Selfish mitochondria exploit nutrient status across different levels of selection

2020-01-31

Abstract excerpt

Cooperation and cheating are widespread evolutionary strategies. Competition can simultaneously favor cheating within groups and cooperation between groups. Selfish or cheater mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutants proliferate within hosts while being selected against at the level of host fitness. How does environment govern competition between cooperators and cheaters across different selection levels? Focusing on foo...
