DEATH AS ADAPTIVE. “A common theme in all the hypotheses discussed above is that the organism is the primary unit of selection. In contrast, other authors have advanced alternative views for the adaptive value of programmed organismal death in a multilevel selection framework. Among those authors that accept organismal death as programmed, many also support the hypothesis that death is adaptive, generally at a level of function other than the individual organism.”
