- •
We use a multilevel selection model to study the evolution of sustainable resource management institutions and behaviors.
- •
Individuals have property, production, and consumption norms. Evolving social markers allow groups to form endogenously.
- •
Conservation behavior and supporting institutions arise primarily when groups compete indirectly for longevity.
