- Bacterial public-goods systems — where quorum sensing and the secretion of shared metabolic products occur preferentially in clonal patches where r among cells approaches one — extend the framework to microbial sociality, where the gene-level accounting applies as cleanly as it does to animals with complex behaviour

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.
