Eusociality - Wikipedia
网页Eusociality (Greek εὖ eu "good" and social) is the highest level of organization of sociality. It is defined by the following characteristics: cooperative brood care (including care of offspring from other individuals), overlapping generations within a colony of adults, and a division of labor into reproductive and non-reproductive groups.

网页Eusocial species, any colonial animal species that lives in multigenerational family groups in which the vast majority of individuals cooperate to aid relatively few (or even a single) reproductive group members. Eusocial species often exhibit extreme task specialization, which makes colonies.

Eusociality - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页Eusocial systems are an evolutionarily advanced level of colonial existence in which adult colonial members (1) belong to two or more overlapping generations, (2) care cooperatively for the offspring, and (3) are divided into either reproductive and nonreproductive (or less-reproductive) castes.

网页2014年1月13日 · The evolution of eusociality has long been described as an evolutionary puzzle because eusociality entails a reproductive division of labor whereby some group members reproduce and others do not. How could such apparent reproductive altruism evolve by natural selection?

网页2015年3月23日 · The basic model includes solitary and eusocial genotypes expressed in offspring, where solitaries always leave to reproduce, while eusocials stay and help their mother with probability q and leave to reproduce with probability 1 – q. Mothers and offspring are genetically identical.
