The socio-genetics of a complex society: female gelada relatedness patterns mirror association patterns in a multilevel society.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2014

Snyder-Mackler Noah, Alberts Susan C, Bergman Thore J

Abstract excerpt

Multilevel societies with fission-fusion dynamics--arguably the most complex animal societies--are defined by two or more nested levels of organization. The core of these societies are modular social units that regularly fission and fuse with one another. Despite convergent evolution in disparate taxa, we know strikingly little about how such societies form and how fitness benefits operate. Understanding the...
