@nadiah looking forward to your toots. I work in social insects , where of course the evolution of cooperation is a core topic.

@clementkent That's fantastic, I'm glad to meet you! I've been hoping I'd find lots of evolution-of-cooperation people to follow on here.

I unfortunately haven't had a chance to look deeply into insect eusociality. The furthest I got was once, a long time ago, and aborted project on termites. I wrote a blog post about what I learnt here: nadiah.org/2016/03/23/termite-

@nadiah Hope we'll talk more. Insects provide interesting evolutionary test cases, because of the multiple independent origins of lifestyles. I don't work on the theory of this, more on the consequences for .

@clementkent I remember being quite confused about the multiple possible pathways to eusociality.

@clementkent (You can see in that blog post that I'm trying hard to reconcile two possible mechanisms just for termites alone)
