作者：

Highlights：

• The study in interdependent networks provides opportunities to explore behaviour among animals with symbiotic relationships.

• In this paper, agents in an upper layer have the right to reward corresponding players displaying, likewise, cooperative or defective behavior in the lower layer.

• Cooperators can survive for larger reward values regardless of how high the temptation to defect is.
