Host sanctions and the legume–rhizobium mutualism (2003, background): “This is especially so if the symbiont is transmitted vertically, from parent to offsprin”
Communication in bacteria: an ecological and evolutionary perspective (2006, background): “Most studies have focused on the molecular aspects of cell?cell communication, and much less attention has been paid to the ecological context of why bacteria produce signalling molecules and respond to both intraspecific and interspecific signals”
Emergence of Spatial Structure in Cell Groups and the Evolution of Cooperation (2010, background): “In light of this problem, social evolution theory has been developed to understand the evolutionary trajectories of cooperative traits [9], but this framework has only recently been applied to unicellular systems [4,10–12].”
Size doesn’t matter: towards a more inclusive philosophy of biology (2007, background): “…units, microbes can effect a coordinated division of labour into zones of differentiated cell types that enable them access to a greater variety of energy sources, habitats, protection and other collective survival strategies (Gray 1997; Shapiro and Dworkin 1997; Crespi 2001; Webb et al. 2003).”
Kin Selection and the Evolutionary Theory of Aging (2007, unknown): “Eventually, such a process is likely to release a cascade of consequences propelling the lineage toward advanced sociality with short-lived, nonreproductive helpers and long-lived, highly fecund reproductives (Alexander et al. 1991; Bourke 1999; Crespi 2004, 2007).”
Varieties of Living Things: Life at the Intersection of Lineage and Metabolism (2009, background): “…the suppression of cellular autonomy and competition, metabolic collaboration, combined defence and attack strategies, and the coordination of movement, growth and reproduction (Cho et al. 2007; Aguilar et al 2007; Kaiser 2001; Shapiro 1998; Kolenbrander 2000; Crespi 2001; Dworkin 1997).”
The Stag Hunt and the Evolution of Social Structure (2003, background): “See Queller, Ponte, Bozzaro, and Strassman (2003) and Crespi and Springer (2003).”
Seeking the foundations of cognition in bacteria: From Schrödinger's negative entropy to latent information (2006, background): “These bacteria can use variety of sophisticated strategy when their collective behavior is challenged by cheaters – opportunistic individuals who take advantage of the group's cooperative effort [53-56].”
The Evolution of Multicellularity: A Minor Major Transition? (2007, background): “…organisms limit the scope for selection to occur within and across generations, whereas others may promote it (Figure 2) (Bell & Koufopanou 1991; Crespi 2001; Grosberg & Strathmann 1998; Hamilton 1964b, 1987a,b; Keller & Surette 2006; Kondrashov 1994; Michod 2003; Michod & Roze 1999; Otto &…”
Cooperation and competition in pathogenic bacteria (2004, background): “First, there is a cost to individuals that can produce pyoverdin, as shown by monocultures of mutants being able to outcompete wild-type strains in an iron-rich environment (F (1,6) 1⁄4 12.”
