Multilevel selection on individual and group social behaviour in the wild.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 1 Mar 2025

Philson Conner S, Martin Julien G A, Blumstein Daniel T

Abstract excerpt

How phenotypes are shaped by multilevel selection-the theoretical framework proposing natural selection occurs at more than one level of biological organization-is a classic debate in biology. Though social behaviours are a common theoretical example for multilevel selection, it is unknown if and how multilevel selection acts on sociality in the wild. We studied the relative strength of multilevel selection on...
