- Green-Beard Effect
- Empirical examples now exist in microbes, social insects, plants, and viruses, but the arrangement is independent of its biological origin:
This sourceReviews empirical green-beard systems in microbes, social insects, and viruses, and the linkage/false-beard invasion dynamics; supports the linkage-recombination determinant of regime stability.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract defines greenbeards and reports examples have been found, most readily in microorganisms; it does not confirm social insects, plants or viruses.
“Greenbeards are genes that can identify the presence of copies of themselves in other individuals, and cause their bearer to behave nepotistically toward those individuals. In recent years, a number of examples have been discovered”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
