Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality

Patrick Abbot, +137 more
- 24 Mar 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is argued that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explained the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality, but these arguments are based upon a misunderstanding of evolutionary theory and a misrepresentation of the empirical literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional Manipulation of Sex Ratios by Ant Workers: A Test of Kin Selection Theory

TL;DR: Variable queen mating frequencies provide a unique opportunity to study the resolution of worker-queen conflict over sex ratio in social Hymenoptera, because the conflict is maximal in colonies headed by a singly mated queen and is weak or nonexistent in colonies head by a multiply mated queens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex ratio bias, relatedness asymmetry and queen mating frequency in ants

TL;DR: This work provides the first empirical evidence of facultative sex ratio biasing in response to relatedness asymmetries caused by inter-colony variations in queen mating frequencies of the ant Formica truncovum.
Journal Article

Genetic population structure and dispersal patterns in Formica ants : a review

TL;DR: The genetic data on old-world boreal species of the genus Formica is reviewed and it is predicted that sex-biased dispersal may be a common trait in Formica species, although data on more species are needed to confirm this.
