The Evolution of Multicellularity: A Minor Major Transition?

TL;DR: Benefits of increased size and functional specialization of cells have repeatedly promoted the evolution of multicellular organisms from unicellular ancestors, but these benefits may be opposed by genetic conflicts that arise when mutant cell lineages promote their own increase at the expense of the integrity of the multice cellular organism.

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.

The genetic control and consequences of kin recognition by the larvae of a colonial marine invertebrate

TL;DR: Results of field experiments show that sibling planktonic larvae of the sessile colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri settle in aggregations that are much stronger than expected from dispersal distance effects alone, and this kin recognition mechanism promotes co-settlement of histocompatible individuals.
