Is cooperation viable in mobile organisms? Simple Walk Away rule

The role of conditional mobility in the evolution of cooperation was first explored by Enquist and Leimar (1993), who concluded that conditional mobility restricts the evolution of cooperation by making free riders more efficient at moving through and exploiting a population of cooperators. However, ...
