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

Dominance hierarchy and reproductive conflicts among subordinates in a monogynous queenless ant

TL;DR: The relative importance of chemical communication and dominance interactions to regulate reproduction is investigated and Alpha, beta, and sterile workers have different signatures of cuticular hydrocarbons, and these may provide honest information which underpins worker policing by low-ranking individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cuticular hydrocarbons correlated with reproductive status in a queenless ant

TL;DR: It is discussed whether 9-C31 provides honest information about egg–laying ability, enabling ants to recognize the different classes of nest–mates involved in reproductive conflicts, and whether fertility cues could reliably underpin the antagonistic interactions occurring in insect societies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solid-phase microextraction and cuticular hydrocarbon differences related to reproductive activity in queenless ant Dinoponera quadriceps

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the alpha ant (virgin or mated) always had higher levels of 9-hentriacontene than her sterile nestmates, and this difference appears related to ovarian activity and may function as a signal of the alpha's dominance status.
Journal Article

Chemical recognition of reproductive status in social insects

TL;DR: Hormonal and genetic studies, such as inactivating genes regulating the production of alkenes, are promising approaches to investigate the honesty of CHC profiles.
