我们调查了支持简单多细胞进化的十个关键选择驱动因素。多细胞化的选择性驱动因素取决于世系和环境。这些驱动因素增强了自我保护、资源获取/生产或分散。为了理解多细胞生物的进化，我们必须理解选择是如何以及为什么偏爱这个过程的第一步：简单的多细胞群体的进化。多细胞生物在具有根本不同生态的独立谱系中进化了许多次，但尚未有工作系统地研究这些不同的选择驱动因素。在这里，我们回顾了系统学、比较生物学、古生物学、合成生物学、理论和实验进化的最新进展，重点介绍了简单多细胞生物的十个选择驱动因素。我们的调查强调了简单多细胞生物的许多生态机会，并强调需要进一步研究这些第一步如何影响复杂多细胞生物的后续进化。
HighlightsWe survey ten key selective drivers favouring the evolution of simple multicellularity.The selective drivers of multicellularity depend on both lineage and environment.These drivers enhance self-protection, resource acquisition/production, or dispersal.In order to understand the evolution of multicellularity, we must understand how and why selection favors the first steps in this process: the evolution of simple multicellular groups. Multicellularity has evolved many times in independent lineages with fundamentally different ecologies, yet no work has yet systematically examined these diverse selective drivers. Here we review recent developments in systematics, comparative biology, paleontology, synthetic biology, theory, and experimental evolution, highlighting ten selective drivers of simple multicellularity. Our survey highlights the many ecological opportunities available for simple multicellularity, and stresses the need for additional work examining how these first steps impact the subsequent evolution of complex multicellularity.
