For some, it is a special interest topic outside of the mainstream, while for others it has been central for generating and testing key ideas on the nature of selection. A new book that underscores social insects as models in the study of adaptive complexity will go a long way towards shoring up this latter personality. Organization of insect societies: from genome to sociocomplexity is a substantive collection of original, peer-reviewed chapters that address recent progress and nuances in…
