| Abstract | Many of the most abundant organisms on earth—including humans—are so successful because they cooperate with one another. Although cooperative species tend to be found in harsh environments characterized by drought and unpredictable rainfall, it remains unclear why. Nearly all previous work has established global patterns between social behavior and environment by comparing different species in different habitats. Yet, determining why environmental harshness favors cooperation requires within-spe |
