III. Evolution of Intra-Species Interactions - Coggle Diagram
Topics and Subtopics:
- Genetic and Environmental Influences
- Genetic diversity and its role in intra-species interactions.
- The effect of environmental changes on social behaviors (e.g., resource scarcity or climate change).
- Cooperation and Conflict in Evolution
- Conflict and Competition: How intra-species conflict (e.g., male-male competition) influences evolutionary outcomes.
- Cooperation and Reciprocity: The evolution of reciprocal altruism and cooperation, especially in primates and social animals.
- Evolution of Social Structures
- Kin Selection and Altruism: The role of kinship in cooperation and helping behavior (e.g., helping relatives to pass on shared genes).
- From Solitary to Social: How solitary species evolved social structures (e.g., the evolution of eusociality in ants and bees).
- Group Living and Benefits: The benefits of group living in terms of defense, resource sharing, and mating (e.g., herds of elephants or flocks of birds).
Overview
Intra-species interactions are not static; they evolve with environmental pressures, genetic changes, and social structures. The evolution of behaviors such as cooperation, aggression, and social structures varies across species and phyla.
