Kith Selection: Simple Theory, Complicated Amoebas and Bacteria
Abstract:
The evolution of cooperation is well understood when the cooperators are relatives but perhaps less so when they are unrelated. I will explore two aspects of evolutionary interactions among non-relatives, which I call kith selection. On the theoretical side, I show how these interactions can be expressed in form exactly parallel Hamilton’s rule. On the empirical side, I describe a complex “farming” symbiosis between Burkholderia bacteria and Dictyostelid amoebas.
