Abstract

The past decade of social insect research has seen rapid development in automated behavioral tracking and molecular profiling of the nervous system, two distinct but complementary lines of inquiry into phenotypic variation across individuals, colonies, populations, and species. These experimental strategies have developed largely in parallel, as automated tracking generates a continuous stream of behavioral data, while, in contrast, ‘omics-based profiling provides a single ‘snapshot’ of the brain. Better integration of these approaches applied to studying variation in social behavior will reveal the underlying genetic and neurobiological mechanisms that shape the evolution and diversification of social life. In this review, we discuss relevant advances in both fields and propose new strategies to better elucidate the molecular and behavioral innovations that generate social life.

整合计算机视觉和分子神经生物学，弥合行为与大脑之间的差距。

在过去的十年中，社会性昆虫研究在自动行为追踪和神经系统分子剖析方面取得了快速发展，这是研究个体、群落、种群和物种之间表型变异的两条截然不同但又互为补充的路线。这些实验策略在很大程度上是并行发展的，因为自动跟踪可产生连续的行为数据流，而与此相反，基于'omics'的剖析可提供大脑的单一 "快照"。将这些方法更好地整合应用于社会行为变异的研究，将揭示影响社会生活进化和多样化的潜在遗传和神经生物学机制。在这篇综述中，我们将讨论这两个领域的相关进展，并提出新的策略，以更好地阐明产生社会生活的分子和行为创新。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Insect Science is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up–to–date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Insect Science. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following 11 areas are covered by Current Opinion in Insect Science. -Ecology -Insect genomics -Global Change Biology -Molecular Physiology (Including Immunity) -Pests and Resistance -Parasites, Parasitoids and Biological Control -Behavioural Ecology -Development and Regulation -Social Insects -Neuroscience -Vectors and Medical and Veterinary Entomology There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field. Section Editors, who are major authorities in their area, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission articles from leading scientists on each topic that they have selected and the commissioned authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.
