The Genetics of Fitness Reorganization during the Transition to Multicellularity: The Volvocine <i>regA</i>-like Family as a Model
The evolutionary transition from single-celled to multicellular individuality requires organismal fitness to shift from the cell level to a cell group. This reorganization of fitness occurs by re-allocating the two components of fitness, survival and reproduction, between two specialized cell types...
