DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2110361119
Abstract: Significance Gene duplication is a major source of evolutionary innovation and is associated with the increases in biological complexity and adaptive radiation. Termites are model social organisms characterized by a sophisticated caste system. We analyzed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsre/fuac019
Abstract: 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 cells… read more here.

Phylogenomic Evidence Overturns Current Conceptions of Social Evolution in Wasps (Vespidae)

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msy124
Abstract: Abstract The hypothesis that eusociality originated once in Vespidae has shaped interpretation of social evolution for decades and has driven the supposition that preimaginal morphophysiological differences between castes were absent at the outset of eusociality.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0331
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… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.13986
Abstract: Globally, there are over 20 000 bee species (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila) with a host of biologically fascinating characteristics. Although they have long been studied as models for social evolution, recent challenges to bee health (mainly… read more here.

Adaptations to a cold climate promoted social evolution in Asian colobine primates
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Science"
DOI: 10.1126/science.abl8621
Abstract: The biological mechanisms that underpin primate social evolution remain poorly understood. Asian colobines display a range of social organizations, which makes them good models for investigating social evolution. By integrating ecological, geological, fossil, behavioral, and… read more here.

Modeling Social Evolution, 1964–1973: Inclusive Fitness Meets Population Structure
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences"
DOI: 10.1525/hsns.2017.47.1.1
Abstract: In 1964, William Hamilton presented a mechanism for the evolution of altruism, which was perceived by its main promoters as an alternative to explanations based on “group selection,” invoking advantage to the population to account… read more here.
