Abstract
⺠I model a mutualism between one host individual and multiple symbiont individuals. ⺠Host preferentially chooses more cooperative symbionts from the environments. ⺠I concentrate the evolution of cooperativeness of symbiont to their host. ⺠Mutualists and cheaters can coexist stably in a symbiont population. ⺠Stronger preference of host may result in increase of cheater symbionts.
