Speaker: George Shillcock (University of Oxford) Title: "Evolution Theory Talk - Division of labour" Room: MC 204 Abstract: A collective evolves division of labour when its members all benefit by specialising to perform complementary tasks. It is observed across various scales of biological organisation at the origins of multicellularity and eusociality. It is, therefore, of interest to understand the conditions which favour the evolution of division of labour by natural selection. By focusing our attention to collectives that reproduce clonally, such as many plants and bacteria, we may safely model collectives as fitness maximisers faced with a constrained optimisation. |
