A Chemically-triggered Transition from Conflict to Cooperation in Burying Beetles
[article]

pre-print
Although interspecific competition has long been recognized as a major driver of trait divergence and adaptive evolution1-3, relatively little effort has focused on how it influences the evolution of intraspecific cooperation4-6. Here we identify the mechanism by which the perceived pressure of interspecific competition influences the transition from intraspecific conflict to cooperation in a facultative cooperatively breeding species, the Asian burying beetle Nicrophorus nepalensis.
