Altruism can proliferate through population viscosity despite high random gene flow. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The ways in which natural selection can allow the proliferation of cooperative behavior have long been seen as a central problem in evolutionary biology. Most of the literature has focused on interactions between pairs of individuals and on linear public

Defining and measuring blood donor altruism: a theoretical approach from biology, economics and psychology [PDF]
Vox Sanguinis, 2013 Background and ObjectivesWhile blood donation is traditionally described as a behaviour motivated by pure altruism, the assessment of altruism in the blood donation literature has not been theoretically informed. Drawing on theories of altruism from psychology, economics and evolutionary biology, it is argued that a theoretically derived psychometric ...

Altruism in groups: an evolutionary games approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 We revisit in this paper the relation between evolution of species and the mathematical tool of evolutionary games, which has been used to model and predict it. We indicate known shortcoming of this model that restricts the capacity of evolutionary games to model groups of individuals that share a common gene or a common fitness function. In this paper

A quantitative test of Hamilton's rule for the evolution of altruism. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 The evolution of altruism is a fundamental and enduring puzzle in biology. In a seminal paper Hamilton showed that altruism can be selected for when rb - c > 0, where c is the fitness cost to the altruist, b is the fitness benefit to the beneficiary, and
