Emergent collective behavior evolves more rapidly than individual behavior among acorn ant species.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 26 Nov 2024

Abstract excerpt

Emergence is a fundamental concept in biology and other disciplines, but whether emergent phenotypes evolve similarly to nonemergent phenotypes is unclear. The hypothesized process of emergent evolution posits that evolutionary change in at least some collective behaviors will differ from evolutionary change in the corresponding intrinsic behaviors of isolated individuals. As a result, collective behavior might...
