The Evolution of Division of Labour

这个项目将探索自然选择如何导致劳动分工(DOL)的进化，为什么DOL在某些情况下发生而不是在另一些情况下发生，以及它在个性的主要进化转变中的作用。我将从理论的角度，使用亲缘选择理论、适应动力学和比较生物学的工具。BBSRC的关键优先领域：理解可持续农业的生命/生物科学规则，以及综合理解健康的食品/生物科学

This project will explore how natural selection can lead to the evolution of division of labour (DOL), why DOL occurs in some scenarios and not others, and its role in the major evolutionary transitions in individuality. I will take a theoretical perspective, using tools from kin-selection theory, adaptive dynamics, and comparative biology.Key BBSRC Priority Areas: Understanding the rules of life / Bioscience for sustainable agriculture and food / Bioscience for an integrated understanding of health
