Multilevel selection in models of prebiotic evolution II: a direct comparison of compartmentalization and spatial self-organization.

Multilevel selection has been indicated as an essential factor for the evolution of complexity in interacting RNA-like replicator systems. There are two types of multilevel selection mechanisms: implicit and explicit. For implicit multilevel selection, spatial self-organization of replicator populat...
