Evolution in a genetically heritable social environment.
N early 40 years ago W. D. Hamilton (1) published his classic paper on the genetic evolution of social behavior. His mathematical theory of kin selection and the related concept of inclusive fitness played a major role in redirecting the evolutionary study of social behavior and accounting for apparently altruistic phenotypes observed in nature. Since that time, and especially after publication...
متن کاملEvolution of heritable behavioural differences in a model of social division of labour
The spectacular diversity of personality and behaviour of animals and humans has evoked many hypotheses intended to explain its developmental and evolutionary background. Although the list of the possible contributing mechanisms seems long, we propose that an underemphasised explanation is the division of labour creating negative frequency dependent selection. We use analytical and numerical mo...
متن کاملSocial learning and evolution in a structured environment
We survey the relationships between evolution, individual learning and social transmission within well-mixed and structured environments. With a novel individual-based simulation, we determine the regimes under which each mode of learning dominates, in terms of the environment’s relative complexity and its rate of change. We show that social learning can give rise to a particularly potent form ...
متن کاملSocial environment influences the progression of atherosclerosis in the watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbit.
BACKGROUND Although there is evidence that emotionally stressful behavior can accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis, there is less data to support the notion that affiliative social behavior can slow disease progression. The present study examines the influence of social environment on the progression of atherosclerosis in the Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbit, a model tha...
متن کاملMutational Pressure Drives Evolution of Synonymous Codon Usage in Genetically Distinct Oenothera plastomes
Background: Most of the amino acids are encoded by more than one codon, termed as synonymous codons. Synonymous codon usage is not random as it is unique to species. In each amino acid family, some synonymous codons are preferred and this is referred to as synonymous codon usage bias (SCUB). Trends associated with evolution of SCUB and factors influencing its diversification in plastomes of gen...
