How does evolution shape social behaviour?
What questions am I interested in?
How does evolution shape social behaviour in microbial biofilms?
How does one combine theoretical and
experimental methods to answer these questions?
What role do ecological factors play in the evolution of social
phenotypes in microbial biofilms?
How do spatial patterns in microbial biofilms
influence selection for social phenotypes?
General
Specific
How does the presence of other species in microbial
biofilms influence selection for social phenotypes?

1. “Towers” are no longer sufficient to give an
advantage to secretors.
2. Other species can insulate secretors from
non-secretors, giving them an advantage.

Why do secretors do so badlyin the presence of other species under low nutrient conditions?
Hypothesis: competition during initial growth phase
![Page 24: Individual-based models of social evolution in biofilms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166df550346895ddb113d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

1. How do secretors and non-secretors farein the presence of other species?
Secretors can be outcompeted by non-secretorsdue to increased initial competition.

Why does the abundance of other species provide an advantage to secretors over non-secretors?
Hypothesis: other species insulate secretors
![Page 31: Individual-based models of social evolution in biofilms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166df550346895ddb113d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Measuring segregation

2. How do secretors and non-secretors farein the presence of many other species?
Secretors can outcompete non-secretorswhen competition is low (e.g., high nutrients)
because other species can separate the two phenotypes.

Why does mutualism not work?
Hypothesis: when cell types are segregated,
secretors and species 2 cannot benefit from each other;when cell types are mixed, non-secretors benefit

3. How do secretors and non-secretors fareif other species are mutualistic partners?
3 questions
Secretors do not do well compared to non-secretorsbecause conditions that favour mutualistic interactions
also maximize benefits of non-secretors.
