| Abstract: | Life history traits such as direct development and restricted dispersal, ecological specialization to live in the host sponge, defending the valuable host resource, as well as selective breeding by one or more queens contribute to the evolution of eusociality in marine Crustacea, in particular, the synalpheid shrimp. This review critically examines the preconditions necessary for the evolution of complex social behaviours and structures including eusociality in these symbiotic shrimps and other crustacean species. |
