在新的基因组资源的帮助下，基因和社会行为的研究正在成熟。在这里，我们展示了发展进化（evo-devo）研究中得出的一些见解如何为在分子水平上研究社会行为的进化提供有用的框架。这些见解包括利用旧基因实现新功能、表型模块化、遗传工具包、基因调控在进化变化中的重要性以及某些基因在多个时间尺度上的影响。接下来，我们概述了发展和行为之间的一些差异，这些差异对进化-发展行为方法提出了挑战。在本章的其余部分，我们回顾了几项研究，这些研究说明了进化-进化见解与我们理解昆虫社会真社会性相关行为进化的相关性。
Studies of genes and social behavior, aided by new genomic resources, are coming of age. Here, we show how some of the insights that have emerged from research on the evolution of development (evo-devo) also provide a useful framework for studying the evolution of social behavior at the molecular level. These insights include co-opting old genes for new functions, phenotypic modularity, genetic tool kits, the importance of gene regulation in evolutionary change, and the influences of some genes over multiple timescales. We next outline a few differences between development and behavior that pose challenges for an evo-devo approach to behavior. For the remainder of this chapter, we review several studies that illustrate the relevance of evo-devo insights to our understanding of the evolution of behaviors related to eusociality in the insect societies.
