Recent years have seen a renewed debate over the importance of groupselection, especially as it relates to the evolution of altruism. Onefeature of this debate has been disagreement over which kinds ofprocesses should be described in terms of selection at multiple levels,within and between groups. Adapting some earlier discussions, we presenta mathematical framework that can be used to explore the exactrelationships between evolutionary models that do, and those that donot, explicitly recognize…

How to measure group selection in real-world populations

Here, the presence of a Simpson’s Paradox is illustrated in a simple individual-based model of bacterial biofilm growth and various complicating factors in moving from theory to practice of measuring group selection are discussed.

How Populations Cohere: Five Rules for Cooperation

This book leads with a survey of work, much of it very recent, on five different kinds of mechanism whereby cooperative behavior may be maintained in a population, despite the inherent difficulty that cheats may prosper by enjoying the benefits of cooperation without paying the associated costs.

Two-level Fisher-Wright framework with selection and migration: An approach to studying evolution in group structured populations

The early stages of the evolution, during which the number of altruists is small compared to the size of the population, are analyzed, and it is shown that during this stage the evolution is well described by a multitype branching process.

LEVELS OF SELECTION

The Quarterly Review of Biology RETHINKING THE THEORETICAL FOUNDATION OF SOCIOBIOLOGY

This article takes a “back to basics” approach, explaining what group selection is, why its rejection was regarded as so important, and how it has been revived based on a more careful formulation and subsequent research.

Pluralism in evolutionary controversies: styles and averaging strategies in hierarchical selection theories

It is postulate that the reason for this schism can be found in the differing focus of each controversy, a deep difference itself determined by distinct general styles of scientific research guiding each discourse.

Varieties of Population Structure and the Levels of Selection

Group-structured populations, of the kind prominent in discussions of multilevel selection, are contrasted with ‘neighbor-structured’ populations. I argue that it is a necessary condition on…

Altruism Can Proliferate through Population Viscosity despite High Random Gene Flow

It is concluded that contingent forms of strong altruism that benefits equally all group members, regardless of kinship and without greenbeard effects, can spread when rare under realistic group sizes and levels of migration, due to the assortment of genes resulting only from population viscosity.

It takes grouping and cooperation to get sociality.

Altruism And Organism: Disentangling The Themes Of Multilevel Selection Theory

  • D. Wilson
  • Psychology, Biology

  • 1997
It is reasonable to expect higher‐level units to evolve into adaptive units with respect to specific traits, even when their members are not genealogically related and do not behave in ways that are obviously altruistic.

Structured Demes and the Evolution of Group-Advantageous Traits

  • D. Wilson
  • Psychology
    The American Naturalist
  • 1977
Models are presented for warning cries and other donor-recipient relations, resource notification, the evolution of prudence in exploitation and interference competition, and the effect of differential trait-group extinction.

Group Selection, Altruism, and Structured-Deme Models

  • L. Nunney
  • Psychology
    The American Naturalist
  • 1985
Structured-deme models are a valuable tool for analyzing local interactions and the resulting neighborhood selection; it is important to note, however, that if a model incorporates isolated trait groups, then within-group comparisons are entirely inappropriate for evaluating the fate of genotypes.

A Critical Review of the Models of Group Selection

  • M. Wade
  • Biology
    The Quarterly Review of Biology
  • 1978
It is shown that the models have a number of assumptions in common which are inherently unfavorable to the operation of group selection, and alternative assumptions derived from the empirical results are suggested and discussed in the hope that they will stimulate further theoretical and empirical study of this controversial subject.

Group Selection, Pluralism, and the Evolution of Altruism

This review focuses on Sober and Wilson's treatment of the "units of selection" question, and the relation between this issue and the evolution of altruism, and leaves untouched their applications of group selection.

Group Selection

The reason for the vehemence with which Williams (1966, 1975), Ghiselin (1974), Lack (1966) and other opponents of group selection have argued their case is, I think, their conviction that group selection assumptions, often tacit or unconscious, have been responsible for the failure to tackle important problems.

The Nature of Selection: Evolutionary Theory in Philosophical Focus

The Nature of Selection presents a powerful analysis of the evolutionary concepts of natural selection, fitness, and adaptation and provides a straightforward and self-contained introduction to philosophical and biological problems in evolutionary theory.
