Deleterious mutation and the evolution of eusociality.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2002

Cherry Joshua L

Abstract excerpt

Certain arguments concerning the evolution of eusociality form a classic example of the application of the principles of kin selection. These arguments center on the different degrees of relatedness of potential beneficiaries of an individual's efforts, for example a female's higher relatedness to her sisters than to her daughters in a haplodiploid system. This type of reasoning is insufficicnt to account for the...
