"A combination of group selection and individual selection could be the key to resolving this tension. Historically, researchers have thought of the two as extremes, always at odds, but “sometimes group selection and individual selection are not necessarily conflicting,” Nonacs said. Pruitt’s paper might help to promote this perspective, he said. In the case of the social spiders, “even though group and individual selection may be going in the same direction, group level is stronger,” Nonacs said."
