Recombination as an enforcement mechanism of prosocial behavior in cooperating bacteria
Summary: Prosocial behavior is ubiquitous in nature despite the relative fitness costs carried by cooperative individuals. However, the stability of cooperation in populations is fragile and often maintained through enforcement. We propose that homologous recombination provides such a mechanism in b...
