Negative frequency‐dependent interactions can underlie phenotypic heterogeneity in a clonal microbial population
Genetically identical cells in microbial populations often exhibit a remarkable degree of phenotypic heterogeneity even in homogenous environments. Such heterogeneity is commonly thought to represent a bet‐hedging strategy against environmental uncertainty. However, evolutionary game theory predicts...
