In primates, this transition is currently not well understood. Traditional verbal models appear insufficient to unravel the complex interplay of environmental and demographic factors involved in the evolution of primate sociality, and recent phylogenetic reconstructions have produced conflicting results. We therefore analyze a theoretical model for the evolution of female social philopatry that sheds new light on the question why most primates live in groups. In individual‐based simulations, we study the evolution of dispersal strategies of both resident females and their offspring. The model reveals that social philopatry can evolve through kin selection, even if retention of offspring is costly in terms of within‐group resource competition and provides no direct benefits. Our model supports the role of predator avoidance as a selective pressure for group‐living in primates, but it also suggests that a second benefit of group‐living, communal resource defense, might be required to trigger the evolution of sizable groups. Lastly, our model reveals that seemingly small differences in demographic parameters can have profound effects on primate social evolution."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001659"],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001655"],["dc.description.sponsorship","H2020 European Research Council http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100010663"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ajpa.24123"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/81480"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.publisher","John Wiley \\u0026 Sons, Inc."],["dc.relation.eissn","1096-8644"],["dc.relation.issn","0002-9483"],["dc.rights","This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited."],["dc.title","The evolution of social philopatry in female primates"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Under what conditions does natural selection favor the evolution of individual territoriality, and under what conditions does it favor the evolution of sociality? We develop a self-consistent game-theoretic model that allows for feedbacks between evolutionary and population dynamics. In this model, nonresident floaters can chose between three strategies: they can wait for a territory vacancy to arise, they can try to forcefully take over an already-occupied territory, or they can share a territory with an established resident. We show that competitive environments initially favor the evolution of an aggressive (territorial) strategy. Yet as competition increases further, a shift occurs from aggressive to social strategies. Moreover, territory owners (residents) respond to the behavior of floaters, such that a feedback occurs in which residents adjust their degree of tolerance to the level of floater aggression and vice versa. This feedback resembles the dynamics of a biological market and eventually leads to the coexistence of aggressive and social floater strategies in the population. Such mixed equilibria commonly occur in nature."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1086/690218"],["dc.identifier.gro","3151460"],["dc.identifier.pmid","28221830"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/8264"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","0003-0147"],["dc.title","From Individual to Group Territoriality: Competitive Environments Promote the Evolution of Sociality"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
