Frequency‐dependent selection: a diversifying force in microbial populations

The benefits of “bet‐hedging” strategies have been assumed to be the main cause of phenotypic diversity in biological populations. However, in their recent work, Healey et al () provide experimental support for negative frequency‐dependent selection (NFDS) as an alternative driving force of diversit...
