Assortment and the analysis of natural selection on social traits.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2017

McDonald Grant C, Farine Damien R, Foster Kevin R, Biernaskie Jay M

Abstract excerpt

A central problem in evolutionary biology is to determine whether and how social interactions contribute to natural selection. A key method for phenotypic data is social selection analysis, in which fitness effects from social partners contribute to selection only when there is a correlation between the traits of individuals and their social partners (nonrandom phenotypic assortment). However, there are...
