Natural selection favors cheaters

Natural selection predicts that mutualisms -- interactions between members of different species that benefit both parties -- should fall apart.

Yet to date, surprisingly little evidence of such cheating or destabilization exists. A team of biologists has now found strong evidence of this cheating.
