Ants are often siblings of each other due to the high number of ants produced by a single queen, so "group selection" for ants is really just "offspring selection". Most cases where group/community selection appears to take place have been explained by individual selection. Similarly, most (if not all) cases of symbiotic and cooperative behavior between species have been explained by an evolution of selfish survival behavior of each species. In both cases cooperation is not being directly selected for, but occurs as a special case of individual/selfish selection.
