Predation and the formation of multicellular groups in algae
- Abstract:
-
Background The evolution of multicellular organisms must, at some point, have involved the congregating of single-celled organisms. Algal species exist that sometimes live in groups and sometimes live as single cells. Understanding the conditions that lead to algal assemblage in such cases may cast light on the selective forces that favour multicellularity. Hypothesis Forming groups could defend algae against predation if predators are unable to engulf large... Expand abstract
