Altruistic self‐removal of health‐compromised honey bee workers from their hive [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2010 AbstractSocial insect colonies represent distinct units of selection. Most individuals evolve by kin selection and forgo individual reproduction. Instead, they display altruistic food sharing, nest maintenance and self‐sacrificial colony defence. Recently, altruistic self‐removal of diseased worker ants from their colony was described as another ...

Evolutionary Ecology, 2015 Plants might be under selection for both attracting efficient pollinators and deterring wasteful visitors. Particular floral traits can act as exploitation barriers by discouraging the unwelcome visitors. In the genus Penstemon, evolutionary shifts from insect pollination to more efficient hummingbird pollination have occurred repeatedly, resulting in ...
