Social structure modulates the evolutionary consequences of social plasticity: A social network perspective on interacting phenotypes
Organisms express phenotypic plasticity during social interactions. Interacting phenotype theory has explored the consequences of social plasticity for evolution, but it is unclear how this theory applies to complex social structures. We adapt interacting phenotype models to general social structures to explore how the number of social connections between individuals and preference for phenotyp...
متن کاملEvolutionary consequences of Wolbachia infections.
The past decade has revealed the bacterium Wolbachia as the most widespread symbiont of arthropods and nematodes. Behind this evolutionary success is an remarkable variety of effects on host biology, ranging from manipulation of reproduction in favor of females to more classical mutualistic interactions. Here we discuss the potential of Wolbachia for promoting evolutionary changes in its hosts.
متن کاملEvolutionary Consequences of Coevolving Targets
Most evolutionary optimization models incorporate a fitness evaluation that is based on a predefined static set of test cases or problems. In the natural evolutionary process, selection is of course not based on a static fitness evaluation. Organisms do not have to combat every existing disease during their lifespan; organisms of one species may live in different or changing environments; diffe...
متن کاملThe evolutionary consequences of vaccination.
Vaccination is a primary tool for controlling and eradicating infectious diseases. Although research on vaccines has traditionally been the purview of medical scientists and virologists, evolutionary biologists have, in recent years, made significant empirical and theoretical contributions to this field. Many of these contributions have stemmed from a growing realization that evolutionary biolo...
متن کاملThe Evolutionary Consequences of Polyploidy
Polyploidization, the addition of a complete set of chromosomes to the genome, represents one of the most dramatic mutations known to occur. Nevertheless, polyploidy is well tolerated in many groups of eukaryotes. Indeed, the majority of flowering plants and vertebrates have descended from polyploid ancestors. This Review examines the short-term effects of polyploidization on cell size, body si...
