Résumé

Most organisms are able to use social information to adjust key behaviours in their lifecycle including dispersal and cooperation. Ciliate microcosms provide a highly powerful tool to study the role of biocommunication in ecology and evolution because they allow simultaneous study of the chemical carriers of information and their eco-evolutionary consequences within short spatial and temporal scales. Here, we review what is known about the existence of social information use and its consequences on dispersal and cooperation in Tetrahymena, and point out the usefulness of Tetrahymena microcosms to further develop our understanding of the mechanisms and implications of information use in eco-evolutionary dynamics.
