Abstract
Titles of research papers usually don’t surprise us, but this one did. It is called Primitive eusociality in a land plant?. The reason for the surprise is that eusociality, so far as we know, is restricted to the animal kingdom. Many animals live in social groups of varying degrees of complexity. The most complex of these is called ‘eusocial’, meaning ‘truly social’. Members of eusocial colonies belong to multiple generations, exhibit cooperative care of the offspring, and only some reproduce, while others merely work for the welfare of the colony.
