课程名称：社会性昆虫入门 课程概述： 本课程将带您探索迷人的社会性昆虫世界，包括蜜蜂、蚂蚁、黄蜂和白蚁。这些昆虫之所以被称为“社会性”，是因为它们能够组成庞大的群体，其中有许多不育的工蚁（工蜂、工蚁等）无私地为它们的亲属（通常是父母）的繁殖提供支持。这种为了帮助他人繁殖而放弃自身繁殖的现象，即“繁殖利他主义”，对基于个体成功繁殖的进化理论提出了一个有趣的挑战。通过本课程，您将了解科学家们如何解释这一“繁殖利他主义”之谜，同时也会学到许多关于这些令人着迷的昆虫的有趣知识。
The social insects include the bees, ants, wasps and termites. They are called social because they assemble into large colonies of sterile workers that support the excessive reproduction of a relative, usually a parent. These insects present a conundrum, because their form of sociality involves foregoing reproduction to aid the reproduction of another: what is known as reproductive altruism. Because our theories of evolution are based upon successful reproduction, this is a puzzle. You will learn how scientists think they have solved the puzzle, and you will learn a lot of fascinating stuff about these insects along the way.
