The levels of selection debate: taking into account existing empirical evidence

For over five decades the dominant neo-Darwinian view is that natural selection acts only at the genic and organismal levels, but the ignored empirical evidence of multilevel selection occurring in nature obtained over the last fifty years does not agree with it. A long exchange of mathematical and...

description For over five decades the dominant neo-Darwinian view is that natural selection acts only at the genic and organismal levels, but the ignored empirical evidence of multilevel selection occurring in nature obtained over the last fifty years does not agree with it. A long exchange of mathematical and theoretical arguments about the levels at which natural selection acts constitutes what is known as the ‘levels of selection debate’. The large amount of empirical evidence, studied by quantitative genetics means, specifically contextual analysis, indicates that natural selection acts on levels of the biological hierarchy above and below that of the gene and organism, from the molecular to the ecosystem level, thus supporting what is called the multilevel selection theory. Beyond theoretical arguments, if empirical evidence for multilevel selection and contextual analysis results are carefully examined, the debate on the levels of selection is easily resolved: natural selection occurs in nature at different levels of biological hierarchy. This text provides an overview of such empirical evidence.

Un largo intercambio de argumentaciones matemáticas y teóricas sobre los niveles en los que actúa la selección natural constituye lo que se denomina como el “debate de los niveles de selección”. La gran cantidad de evidencia empírica, estudiada mediante métodos de genética cuantitativa, específicamente el análisis contextual, indica que la selección natural actúa en niveles de la jerarquía biológica por encima y por debajo del nivel del gen y organismo, desde el nivel molecular hasta el ecosistémico, apoyando así lo que se denomina la teoría de selección multinivel. Más allá de argumentos teóricos, si se examina cuidadosamente la evidencia empírica de selección multinivel y los resultados del análisis contextual, se resuelve de forma sencilla el debate de los niveles de selección: la selección natural ocurre en la naturaleza en diferentes niveles de la jerarquía biológica. Este texto ofrece una revisión general de dicha evidencia empírica.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Faculdad de Ciencias - Departamento de Biologíahttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/actabiol/article/view/54596Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Acta Biológica ColombianaActa Biológica ColombianaMarín, César (2016) The levels of selection debate: taking into account existing empirical evidence.
