Data from: Cheating and resistance to cheating in natural populations of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens
Bacteria perform cooperative behaviours that are exploitable by non-cooperative cheats, and cheats frequently arise and coexist with cooperators in laboratory microcosms. However, evidence of competitive dynamics between cooperators and cheats in nature remains limited. Using the production of pyove...

| Zusammenfassung: | Bacteria perform cooperative behaviours that are exploitable by
non-cooperative cheats, and cheats frequently arise and coexist with
cooperators in laboratory microcosms. However, evidence of competitive
dynamics between cooperators and cheats in nature remains limited. Using
the production of pyoverdine, an iron-scavenging molecule, and natural
soil populations of Pseudomonas fluorescens, we found that (1)
non-producers are present in the population; (2) they co-occur
