Inclusive fitness theory vs. kin selection In fact, that's why some argue that it should be called 'inclusive fitness theory' rather than 'kin selection' - Altruism Eusociality rare even in highly related groups Conclusions from the controversy - Haplodiploidy is not crucial to evolution of eusociality Advocates of inclusive fitness theory claim that many empirical studies support their theory. But often the connection that is made between data and Inclusive fitness theorists have pointed to resulting close pedigree relatedness as evidence for the key role of kin selection in the origin of eusociality Inclusive fitness theory is the idea that the evolutionary success of a trait can be calculated as a sum of fitness effects multiplied by relatedness coefficients. Despite recent mathematical analyses demonstrating the limitations of this approach, its adherents claim that it is as general as the theory of INCLUSIVE FITNESS THEORY: IS IT STILL RELEVANT IN DISCUSSIONS OF ALTRUISM? by DANIEL WASIM AWARI A Dissertation submitted Eusociality can be described as the organization of a colony using a social hierarchy based upon reproductive castes that experience unequal Search Results for: eusociality. 22,098 slides. Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality. Eusociality with sterile individuals is the most extreme form of kin altruism. They do specialized tasks, often caring for the reproductive members. If the theory of inclusive fitness is accurate, the haplodiploidy makes kin selection easier. Sisters are more related to each other than to any offspring Lect. 17: Social behavior. • Altruism & cooperation • Inclusive fitness, kin selection. • Eusociality and Hymenopterma. - Sex ratio bias. • Eusociality in diploids.

The critiques of inclusive fitness theory have provided neither an equally valid answer to the question of what organisms should appear designed to maximise, nor an alternative process to unite the interest of genes. Consequently, inclusive fitness remains the most general theory for explaining adaptation. Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality. Inclusive fitness theory rests on fragile assumptions. Inclusive fitness theory is not needed to explain the evolution of eusociality (or other social Hamilton: "Inclusive fitness may be imagined as the personal fitness which an individual actually expresses in its production of adult offspring as it Inclusive fitness theory rests on fragile assumptions.
