The causal meaning of Hamilton’s rule [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Hamilton’s original derivation of his rule for the spread of an altruistic gene (rb>c) assumed additivity of costs and benefits. Recently, it has been argued that an exact version of the rule holds under non-additive pay-offs, so long as the cost and ...

Can Hamilton’s rule be violated? [PDF]
eLife, 2018 How generally Hamilton’s rule holds is a much debated question. The answer to that question depends on how costs and benefits are defined. When using the regression method to define costs and benefits, there is no scope for violations of Hamilton’s rule.

The general version of Hamilton’s rule [PDF]
eLifeThe generality of Hamilton’s rule is much debated. In this paper, I show that this debate can be resolved by constructing a general version of Hamilton’s rule, which allows for a large variety of ways in which the fitness of an individual can depend on ...

Hamilton's rule in economic decision-making. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance Kin selection—helping genetically related individuals even at a cost to oneself—can be evolutionarily advantageous. This is the main theoretical explanation for altruism in the natural world. Hamilton’s rule provides a simple algebraic relationship that captures this profound idea.

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

Cooperation and Hamilton's rule in a simple synthetic microbial system [PDF]
Molecular Systems Biology, 2010 A fundamental problem in biology is understanding the evolutionary emergence and maintenance of altruistic behaviors. A well‐recognized conceptual insight is provided by a general mathematical relation, Hamilton's rule.

Variation in helper effort among cooperatively breeding bird species is consistent with Hamilton’s Rule [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 Non-parental helpers contribute to offspring care in many species; however, the amount of care provided varies considerably across species. Here, Green et al.

The group selection–inclusive fitness equivalence claim: not true and not relevant [PDF]
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2020 The debate on (cultural) group selection regularly suffers from an inclusive fitness overdose. The classical view is that all group selection is kin selection, and that Hamilton's rule works for all models.

Assortment, Hamilton's rule and multilevel selection. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2010 Explaining the evolution of cooperation has been under debate for a long time (reviewed in [Frank 1998][1]; [Lehmann & Keller 2006][2]). Cooperative traits impose a cost on the individual exhibiting the trait to the benefit of other individuals.
