Genetic drift opposes mutualism during spatial population expansion
Melanie JI Muller, Beverly I Neugeboren, David R Nelson +1
Mutualistic interactions benefit both partners, promoting coexistence and genetic diversity. Spatial structure can promote cooperation, but spatial expansions may also make it hard…
Spatial population expansion promotes the evolution of cooperation in an experimental Prisoner's Dilemma
J. David Van Dyken, Melanie J. I. Muller, Keenan M. L. Mack +1
Cooperation is ubiquitous in nature, but explaining its existence remains a central interdisciplinary challenge. Cooperation is most difficult to explain in the Prisoner's Dilemma…
Selective sweeps in growing microbial colonies
Kirill S Korolev, Melanie J I Müller, Nilay Karahan +3
Evolutionary experiments with microbes are a powerful tool to study mutations and natural selection. These experiments, however, are often limited to the well-mixed environments of…
