"Extended Fitness" hypothesis: a link between individual and group selection.

Genetics and molecular research : GMR - 17 Oct 2013

de Souza S J

Abstract excerpt

What are the targets of natural selection remains a controversial issue in Biology. Here I propose the "Extended Fitness" hypothesis, in which extended phenotypes emerge as a link between individual and group selection. The basic premise of the extended fitness hypothesis is that extended phenotypes can be used by members of the same group since they are adapted to use them. Thus, extended phenotypes can also...
