Editorial: Genetic Effects on Social Traits: Empirical Studies from Social Animals
As genomic information becomes available for a growing number of social animals, so do opportunities to examine the genetic basis of social behavior. Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of social insect research that is actively bridging the once-separate sub-fields of socioand molecular-biology (Linksvayer et al., 2012; Libbrecht et al., 2013; Kapheim et al., 2015; Rehan and Toth, 2...
متن کاملSocial- and Behavioral-Specific Genetic Effects on Blood Pressure Traits
Background—Population studies have demonstrated an important role of social, behavioral, and environmental factors in blood pressure (BP) levels. Accounting for the genetic interaction of these factors may help to identify common BP susceptibility alleles. Methods and Results—We studied the interaction of additive genetic effects and behavioral (physical activity, smoking, alcohol use) and soci...
متن کاملSocial Information Transmission in Animals: Lessons from Studies of Diffusion
The capacity to use information provided by others to guide behavior is a widespread phenomenon in animal societies. A standard paradigm to test if and/or how animals use and transfer social information is through social diffusion experiments, by which researchers observe how information spreads within a group, sometimes by seeding new behavior in the population. In this article, we review the ...
متن کاملEditorial: Social Interaction in Animals: Linking Experimental Approach and Social Network Analysis
Understanding the link between individual behavior and population organization and functioning has long been central to ecology and evolutionary biology (Krause et al., 2009; Sueur et al., 2011; Kurvers et al., 2014). Behavior is a response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors including individual state, ecological factors, or social interactions. Within a group, each individual can be seen as pa...
