Energetic Benefits of Sociality Offset the Costs of Parasitism in a Cooperative Mammal
Sociality and particularly advanced forms of sociality such as cooperative breeding (living in permanent groups with reproductive division of labour) is relatively rare among vertebrates. A suggested constraint on the evolution of sociality is the elevated transmission rate of parasites between grou...
