The geometry of evolutionary conflict

Petri Rautiala et al.

Summary: Conflicts of interest are common in both human affairs and the biological realm, and evolutionary conflict occurs at various levels of biological organization. This study reveals novel insights into the dynamics and consequences of evolutionary conflict by developing a geometric model of adaptation. The findings demonstrate that conflict can drive evolving traits far from the optimal state, lead to persistent maladaptation of non-contested traits, and be alleviated by modular design, facilitating major transitions in individuality.
