Sexual selection is a form of social selection. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2012 Social selection influences the evolution of weapons, ornaments and behaviour in both males and females. Thus, social interactions in both sexual and non-sexual contexts can have a powerful influence on the evolution of traits that would otherwise appear to be detrimental to survival.

Correlated evolution of distinct signals associated with increased social selection in female white‐shouldered fairywrens [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Conspicuous female signals have recently received substantial scientific attention, but it remains unclear if their evolution is the result of selection acting on females independently of males or if mutual selection facilitates female change.

Spatial clustering in vaccination hesitancy: The role of social influence and social selection. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 The phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy behavior has gained ground over the last three decades, jeopardizing the maintenance of herd immunity. This behavior tends to cluster spatially, creating pockets of unprotected sub-populations that can be hotspots for ...

The social selection alternative to sexual selection. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2012 Abstract Social selection offers an alternative to sexual selection by reversing its logic. Social selection starts with offspring production and works back to mating, and starts with behavioural dynamics and works up to gene pool dynamics.

SOCIAL SELECTION AND THE EVOLUTION OF ANIMAL SIGNALS [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1996 Social selection is presented here as a parallel theory to sexual selection and is defined as a selective force that occurs when individuals change their own social behaviors, responding to signals sent by conspecifics in a way to influence the other individuals' fitness. I analyze the joint evolution of a social signal and behavioral responsiveness to

Social selectivity and social motivation in voles [PDF]
eLife, 2021 Selective relationships are fundamental to humans and many other animals, but relationships between mates, family members, or peers may be mediated differently. We examined connections between social reward and social selectivity, aggression, and oxytocin receptor signaling pathways in rodents that naturally form enduring, selective relationships with ...

Social Selection and the Evolution of Maladaptation [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2021 Abstract Evolution by natural selection is often viewed as a process that inevitably leads to adaptation, or an increase in population fitness over time. However, maladaptation, an evolved decrease in fitness, may also occur in response to natural selection under some conditions. Social selection, which arises from the effects of social

Runaway Social Selection in Human Evolution
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Darwin posited that social competition among conspecifics could be a powerful selective pressure. Alexander proposed a model of human evolution involving a runaway process of social competition based on Darwin’s insight.
