The Weak Worker Hypothesis: a new framework for understanding division of labour in social insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 5-13, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In social species, group functions often benefit from variation among individual group members. Many highly integrated social insect colonies rely on division of labour among colony members and emergent properties of their collective behaviour and physiology. Response threshold models are a prominent proximate explanation of division of labour,

Fraternal cooperation of hierarchical cancer parallels metazoan multicellularity and eusociality

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 400-418, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Metazoan multicellularity and eusociality — both outcomes of the fraternal major transitions — have numerous features in common such as uneven distribution of group‐establishing potential. In addition to this framework, I argue herein that the group‐forming principles of metazoan multicellularity and eusociality are analogous to hierarchical ...

Selection for Function in Complex Distributed Pathological Systems

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathological processes are often conceptualized as localized phenomena anchored in a primary tumor, a focal lesion, or a single organ. However, growing evidence indicates that many diseases persist and progress as complex distributed systems, maintained by interactions among multiple sites.

Evolution of Near‐Term Atmospheric Methane and Associated Temperature Response Under the Global Methane Pledge: Insights From an Earth System Model

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with a shorter lifetime than carbon dioxide (CO2), making it an important target for near‐term climate action. The Global Methane Pledge (GMP) aims to cut anthropogenic methane emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by 2030. Using an Earth system model with interactive CH4 sources and sinks, we assess the Pledge'
