Metabolism and the Evolution of Social Behavior [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2017
How does metabolism influence social behavior? This fundamental question at the interface of molecular biology and social evolution is hard to address with experiments in animals, and therefore, we turned to a simple microbial system: swarming in the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Metabolic division of labor in social insects

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Insect Science, 2023
Social insects are known for reproductive and behavioral division of labor, but little attention has been paid to metabolic forms of division of labor. Metabolic division of labor is the partitioning of complementary metabolic tasks between individuals within the colony, and it is widespread in social insects.

Conceptualizing, Observing, and Influencing Social-Ecological Transitions

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2009
This article creates a meeting ground between two distinct and fairly elaborate research traditions dealing with social "transitions": the Dutch societal transitions management approach, and the Viennese sociometabolic transitions approach.

More than energy transformations: a historical transition from organic to industrialized farm systems in a Mediterranean village (Les Oluges, Catalonia, 1860–1959–1999)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2018
The analysis of energy efficiency of agroecosystems from a sociometabolic perspective is a useful way to assess the sustainability of farm systems. In this paper we examine the transition of a Mediterranean agroecosystem from an organic farm system in ...
