The effects of kin selection on rates of molecular evolution in social insects.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2012

Hall David W, Goodisman Michael A D

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of sociality represented a major transition point in biological history. The most advanced societies, such as those displayed by social insects, consist of reproductive and nonreproductive castes. The caste system fundamentally affects the way natural selection operates. Specifically, selection acts directly on reproductive castes, such as queens, but only indirectly through the process of kin...
