Evolution of sociality by natural selection on variances in reproductive fitness: evidence from a social bee

( 2007) Schwarz, Michael Philip ; Stevens, Mark Ian ; Hogendoorn, Katja

The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is a statistical principle that states that as the number of repeated samples from any population increase, the variance among sample means will decrease and means will become more normally distributed. It has been conjectured that the CLT has the potential to provide benefits for group living in some animals via greater predictability in food acquisition, if the number of foraging bouts increases with group size. The potential existence of benefits for group living derived from a purely statistical principle is highly intriguing and it has implications for the origins of sociality.
