Abstract
Microbes are not only social organisms, but also their social strategies can have significant implications on their evolutionary dynamics. This mini-review discusses the eco-evolutionary dynamics of complex social strategies in microbial communities, emphasizing the roles of cooperation, competition, and cheating behaviors. It explores how these interactions shape microbial communities and influence their evolutionary trajectories.
