The social evolution of individual differences: Future directions for a comparative science of personality in social behavior.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews [Neurosci Biobehav Rev] 2023 Jan; Vol. 144, pp. 104980. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Dec 02.
Abstract: Personality is essential for understanding the evolution of cooperation and conflict in behavior. However, personality science remains disconnected from the field of social evolution, limiting our ability to explain how personality and plasticity shape...
Social evolution as moral truth tracking in natural law.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Politics and the life sciences : the journal of the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences [Politics Life Sci] 2023 Mar; Vol. 41 (1), pp. 76-89.
Abstract: Morality can be adaptive or maladaptive. From this fact come polarizing disputes on the meta-ethical status of moral adaptation. The realist tracking account of morality claims that it is possible to track objective moral truths and that these truths c...
Impaired immune function accompanies social evolution in spiders.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Biology letters [Biol Lett] 2022 Dec; Vol. 18 (12), pp. 20220331. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Dec 21.
Abstract: An efficient immune system is essential to the survival of many animals. Sociality increases risk of pathogen transmission, which should select for enhanced immune function. However, two hypotheses instead predict a weakened immune function: relaxed se...
The importance of distinguishing individual differences in 'social impact' versus 'social responsiveness' when quantifying indirect genetic effects on the evolution of social plasticity.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews [Neurosci Biobehav Rev] 2023 Jan; Vol. 144, pp. 104996. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Dec 13.
Abstract: Social evolution and the dynamics of social interactions have previously been studied under the frameworks of quantitative genetics and behavioural ecology. In quantitative genetics, indirect genetic effects of social partners on the socially plastic p...
Social behavior mediates the use of social and personal information in wild jays.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Scientific reports [Sci Rep] 2022 Feb 15; Vol. 12 (1), pp. 2494. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Feb 15.
Abstract: The factors favoring the evolution of certain cognitive abilities in animals remain unclear. Social learning is a cognitive ability that reduces the cost of acquiring personal information and forms the foundation for cultural behavior. Theory predicts ...
Evolution-proof inhibitors of public good cooperation: a screening strategy inspired by social evolution theory.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): FEMS microbiology reviews [FEMS Microbiol Rev] 2022 Oct 28; Vol. 46 (5).
Abstract: Interference with public good cooperation provides a promising novel antimicrobial strategy since social evolution theory predicts that resistant mutants will be counter-selected if they share the public benefits of their resistance with sensitive cell...
A Synthesis of Game Theory and Quantitative Genetic Models of Social Evolution.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): The Journal of heredity [J Hered] 2022 Feb 17; Vol. 113 (1), pp. 109-119.
Abstract: Two popular approaches for modeling social evolution, evolutionary game theory and quantitative genetics, ask complementary questions but are rarely integrated. Game theory focuses on evolutionary outcomes, with models solving for evolutionarily stable...
Genomic and transcriptomic analyses of the subterranean termite Reticulitermes speratus : Gene duplication facilitates social evolution.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America [Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A] 2022 Jan 18; Vol. 119 (3).
Abstract: Termites are model social organisms characterized by a polyphenic caste system. Subterranean termites (Rhinotermitidae) are ecologically and economically important species, including acting as destructive pests. Rhinotermitidae occupies an important ev...
A paradigm shift for the Great Bifurcation.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Bio Systems [Biosystems] 2020 Nov; Vol. 197, pp. 104193. Date of Electronic Publication: 2020 Jun 30.
Abstract: This paper is an attempt to achieve an understanding of the situation the evolution of humanity is confronted with in the age of global challenges. Since global challenges are problems of unprecedented complexity, it is argued that a secular paradigm s...
The thermal environment as a moderator of social evolution.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society [Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc] 2021 Dec; Vol. 96 (6), pp. 2890-2910. Date of Electronic Publication: 2021 Jul 26.
Abstract: Animal sociality plays a crucial organisational role in evolution. As a result, understanding the factors that promote the emergence, maintenance, and diversification of animal societies is of great interest to biologists. Climate is among the foremost...
