Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 29/10/2014 Description Scientists explain diversity in competitiveness and warn that too much emphasis on competition can have negative effects on human society Producer/Author University of Bonn URL https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-10/uob-eoc102914.php Persons Sebastian Baldauf Title Evolution of competitiveness Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet IDW Media type Web Country/Territory Germany Date 29/10/2014 Description Virtually all organisms in the living world compete with members of their own species. However, individuals differ strongly in how much they invest into their competitive ability. Some individuals are highly competitive and eager to get access to high-quality resources, while others seem to avoid competition, instead making prudent use of the lower-quality resources that are left over for them. A theoretical study published in “Nature Communications” sheds some new light on these findings. The authors demonstrate that the evolution of competitiveness has a strong tendency towards diversification.

Individuen unterscheiden sich aber stark darin, wie sie mit dieser Herausforderung umgehen. Zum Beispiel setzen manche alles daran, erfolgreicher zu sein als andere, um besseren Zugang zu wichtigen Ressourcen zu erhalten. Andere dagegen lassen es ruhiger angehen und machen das Beste aus dem Wenigen, das sie bekommen. Forscher der Universitäten Bonn, Bielefeld und Groningen zeigen, warum die Evolution von Wettbewerbsfähigkeit eine derartige Vielfalt erzeugt und wie eine einseitige Favorisierung von besonders kompetitiven Individuen eine Population in den Ruin treiben kann. Die Studie ist nun im Fachjournal „Nature Communications“ erschienen.

However, individuals differ strongly in how much they invest into their competitive ability. Some individuals are highly competitive and eager to get access to high-quality resources, while others seem to avoid competition, instead making prudent use of the lower-quality resources that are left over for them. Moreover, the degree of competitiveness in animal and human societies seems to fluctuate considerably over time. A theoretical study published in Nature Communications this week sheds some new light on these findings. The authors demonstrate that the evolution of competitiveness has a strong tendency towards diversification. When competitiveness is externally favoured, it can destabilize animal and human societies and in extreme cases even threaten their survival.
