Tragedy of the commons in Melipona bees
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 05:16 authored by T Wenseleers, Francis RatnieksIn human society selfish use of common resources can lead to disaster, a situation known as the 'tragedy of the commons' (TOC). Although a TOC is usually prevented by coercion, theory predicts that close kinship ties can also favour reduced exploitation. We test this prediction using data on a TOC occurring in Melipona bee societies.
