The diversity of social complexity in termites.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 1 Jun 2024

Revely Lewis, Eggleton Paul, Clement Rebecca, Zhou Chuanyu, Bishop Tom R

Abstract excerpt

Sociality underpins major evolutionary transitions and significantly influences the structure and function of complex ecosystems. Social insects, seen as the pinnacle of sociality, have traits like obligate sterility that are considered 'master traits', used as single phenotypic measures of this complexity. However, evidence is mounting that completely aligning both phenotypic and evolutionary social complexity,...
