More recently, it has illuminated studies of animal behavior, and played a controversial role in evolutionary biology. .In Part I, the author explores the historical development of the idea of a collectivity in biological systems, from early speculations on the sociology of human crowd behavior, through the mid-twentieth century debates over the role of group selection in evolution, to the notion of the selfish gene. .Part II investigates the balance between competition and cooperation in a range of contemporary biological problems, from flocking and swarming to experimental evolution and the evolution of multicellularity. . .Part III addresses experimental studies of cooperation and competition, as well as controversial ideas such as the evolution of evolvability and S | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | Agent-based Model of Development; Collectivity in Physics; Competition-cooperation Balance; Evolution a | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-1054-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-024-1477-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-024-1054-9Series ISSN 1612-3018 Series E-ISSN 2197-6619 | issn_series | 1612-3018 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2018 |
