Creating a Scientific Community to Study the
Ecology, Evolution and Mechanisms of Solitary Living

A Fundamental Problem

A fundamental problem in social evolution is the misconception that solitary living needs no explanation. Since the 1950s, evolutionary biologists and behavioral ecologists have studied why animals live in groups, but not the alternative of why many species live solitarily.
