We further modii ed it through our selection for pollen hoarding. In
particular, selection for low pollen hoarding uncoupled the joint con-
trol mechanism of JH and Vg (see Section 7.5.4).
8.4 Summary Comments
I have traced the extended reach of colony-level selection through many
levels of biological organization and have shown the network of inter-
actions within and between levels that changed as a consequence. It is a
