Dissecting ant recognition systems in the age of genomics.

Biology letters - 1 Jan 2013

Tsutsui Neil D

Abstract excerpt

Hamilton is probably best known for his seminal work demonstrating the role of kin selection in social evolution. His work made it clear that, for individuals to direct their altruistic behaviours towards appropriate recipients (kin), mechanisms must exist for kin recognition. In the social insects, colonies are typically comprised of kin, and colony recognition cues are used as proxies for kinship cues. Recent...
