Abstract

The article offers information on how compartmentalization drives the evolution of symbiotic cooperation. Topics include the evolution of physical structures that allow hosts to spatially separate symbionts, interacting with multiple partners creates a potential tragedy of the commons where less beneficial individuals can share in the collective benefits the host provides, and the symbiosis research being conflicts among symbionts, and between host and symbionts has avoided.
