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
The evolutionary origin and elaboration of sociality in the aculeate Hymenoptera: maternal effects, sib-social effects, and heterochrony.
TL;DR: A verbal model for the evolutionary origin and elaboration of sib‐social care from maternal care based on the modification of the timing of expression of maternal care behaviors is presented, demonstrating that both maternal effect genes and direct effect zygotic genes are likely involved in the evolution of eusociality.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Neuropeptide Corazonin Controls Social Behavior and Caste Identity in Ants.

TL;DR: It is proposed that corazonin, a neuropeptide homologous to the vertebrate gonadotropin-releasing hormone, is a central regulator of caste identity and behavior in social insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deconstructing the Superorganism: Social Physiology, Groundplans, and Sociogenomics
TL;DR: The groundplan hypothesis proposes that eusociality arose via simple changes in the regulation of ancestral gene sets affecting reproductive physiology and behavior, and it is argued that this hypothesis is explanatory for the evolution of division of labor but not for the regulatory systems that ensure group-level coordination of action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct, maternal, and sibsocial genetic effects on individual and colony traits in an ant.
TL;DR: Estimates of genetic correlations between direct, maternal, and sibsocial effects were generally negative, indicating that these effects may not evolve independently, and have broad implications for social insect evolution.
