Social network position experiences more variable selection than weaponry in wild subpopulations of forked fungus beetles.

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypic expression and fitness consequences of behaviours that are exhibited during social interactions are especially sensitive to their local social context. This context-dependence is expected to generate more variation in the sign and magnitude of selection on social behaviour than that experienced by static characters like morphology. Relatively few studies, however, have examined selection on...
