The cost of conflict in aphid societies.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2010

Grogan K E, Chhatre V E, Abbot P

Abstract excerpt

Most social aphids are found within plant galls, inside of which clonally-derived family groups feed, and specialized larval castes forego reproduction and perform various cooperative tasks, including group defence. When unrelated aphids move between clones, conditions are ripe for conflict because galls and cooperative defence are shared resources that are vulnerable to exploitation. A key unknown is whether...
