Synopsis.This brief discusses factors associated with group formation, group maintenance, group population structure, and other events and processes (e.g., physiology, behavior) related to mammalian social evolution. Within- and between-lineages, features of prehistoric and extant social mammals, patterns and linkages are discussed as components of a possible social “tool-kit”.  "Top-down” (predators to nutrients), as well as “bottom-up” (nutrients to predators) effects are assessed.  The present synthesis also emphasizes outcomes of Hebbian (synaptic) decisions on Malthusian parameters (growth rates of populations) and their consequences for (shifting) mean fitnesses of populations.  Ecology and evolution (EcoEvo) are connected via the organism’s “norms of reaction” (genotype x environment interactions; life-history tradeoffs of reproduction, survival, and growth) exposed to selection, with the success of genotypes influenced by intensities of selection as well as neutral (e.g. mutation rates) and stochastic effects.  At every turn, life history trajectories are assumed to arise from “decisions” made by types responding to competition for limiting resources constrained by Hamilton’s rule (inclusive fitness operations).SpringerBriefs in Ecology,2192-4759Animal ecologyEcologyEvolution (Biology)Applied ecologyAnimal Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015Theoretical Ecology/Statisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19147Evolutionary Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001Applied Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023Animal ecology.Ecology.Evolution (Biology)Applied ecology.Animal Ecology.Theoretical Ecology/Statistics.Evolutionary Biology.Applied Ecology.599.138Jones Clara Bauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058522MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298312803321The Evolution of Mammalian Sociality in an Ecological Perspective2500522UNINA
