我们描述了术语‘’社会‘’和其他社会制度更精确的定义。我们对优生社会的标准是种姓的存在，种姓是指在生殖成熟之前的某个时候，行为上变得不可逆转地截然不同的个体群体。社会社会有两个特点：(1)由生殖能力较低的种姓的个人提供帮助，(2)要么只有生殖能力较强的种姓的行为全能(兼性的善社会)，要么既不是种姓的全能(专有的善社会)。我们将“合作养殖”定义为无托盘的异地护理。合作繁育社会可能包括两种类型，半社会(终身生殖成功的双峰分布)和准社会(终身生殖成功的单峰分布)，但这一假设需要进行实证分析。我们的定义在概念上统一了节肢动物和脊椎动物社会性的研究。
We describe more precise definitions for the term ''eusociality'' and other social systems. Our criterion for eusociality is the presence of castes, which are groups of individuals that become irreversibly behaviorally distinct at some point prior to reproductive maturity. Eusocial societies are characterized by two traits: (1) helping by individuals of the less-reproductive caste, and (2) either behavioral totipotency of only the more reproductive caste (facultative eusociality) or totipotency of neither caste (obligate eusociality). We define ''cooperative breeding'' as alloparental care without cartes. Cooperatively breeding societies may comprise two types, semisocial (distribution of lifetime reproductive success bimodal), and quasisocial (distribution of lifetime reproductive success unimodal), but this hypothesis requires empirical analysis. Our definitions conceptually unify studies of arthropod and vertebrate sociality.
