Social evolution of spatial patterns in bacterial biofilms: when conflict drives disorder.
A key feature of biological systems is the emergence of higher-order structures from interacting units, such as the development of tissues from individual cells and the elaborate divisions of labor in insect societies. Little is known, however, of how evolutionary competition among individuals affec...
