Range expansion promotes cooperation in an experimental microbial metapopulation

Range expansion promotes cooperation in an experimental microbial metapopulation

Natural populations throughout the tree of life undergo range expansions in response to changes in the environment. Recent theoretical work suggests that range expansions can have a strong effect on evolution, even leading to the fixation of deleterious alleles that would normally be outcompeted in...
