Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Response of Quorum-Sensing Bacteria in an Evolutionary Context
Burkhard A. Hense, Matthew McIntosh, Johannes Müller +1
To explain the stability of cooperation is a central task of evolutionary theory. We investigate this question in the case of quorum sensing (QS) bacteria, which regulate cooperati…
