Evolution: Social Selection for Eccentricity
The dress code of paper wasps, like that of humans, is related to their social habits: species with a flexible nest-founding strategy have highly variable black-and-yellow markings. This color polymorphism facilitates individual recognition and might have been selected to permit complex social interactions.
متن کاملEccentricity Evolution for Planets in Gaseous Disks
At least several percent of solar type stars possess giant planets. Surprisingly, most move on orbits of substantial eccentricity. We investigate the hypothesis that interactions between a giant planet and the disk from which it forms promote eccentricity growth. These interactions are concentrated at discrete Lindblad and corotation resonances. Interactions at principal Lindblad resonances cau...
متن کاملEccentricity Evolution of Resonant Migrating Planets
We examine the eccentricity evolution of a system of two planets locked in a mean motion resonance, in which the outer planet loses energy and angular momentum. The sink of energy and angular momentum could be either a gas or planetesimal disk. We show that the eccentricity of both planetary bodies can grow to large values, particularly if the inner body does not directly exchange energy or ang...
متن کاملEvolution of social behavior through interpopulation selection.
Under certain special conditions natural selection can be effective at the level of local populations, or demes. Such interpopulation selection will favor genotypes that reduce the probability of extinction of their parent population even at the cost of a lowered inclusive fitness. Such genotypes may be characterized by altruistic traits only in a viscous population, i.e., in a population in wh...
متن کاملSexual Selection, Social Competition, and Evolution*
Social behavior holds a special position among natural phenomena in relation to the Darwinian theory of organic evolution. When individuals of the same species live in close proximity they compete directly for essential resources. And intraspecific reproductive competition is the cornerstone of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Thus the drama of what G. E. Hutchinson (1965) referred...
