Testing Hamilton's rule with competition between relatives [PDF]
Nature, 2001 Hamilton's theory of kin selection suggests that individuals should show less aggression, and more altruism, towards closer kin. Recent theoretical work has, however, suggested that competition between relatives can counteract kin selection for altruism.

Kin Competition Drives the Evolution of Earlier Metamorphosis [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMetamorphosis, the discrete morphological change between postembryonic life stages, is widespread across the animal kingdom. The suggested advantages of metamorphosis have usually been framed in terms of population benefits, i.e., ecological explanations.

Hamilton's Rule for Enabling Altruism in Multi-Agent Systems [PDF]
2025 IEEE 64th Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)This paper explores the application of Hamilton's rule to altruistic decision-making in multi-agent systems. Inspired by biological altruism, we introduce a framework that evaluates when individual agents should incur costs to benefit their neighbors.

Genetic polymorphisms between altruism and selfishness close to the Hamilton threshold rb = c [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Genes that in certain conditions make their carriers altruistic are being identified, and altruism and selfishness have shown to be heritable in man. This raises the possibility that genetic polymorphisms for altruism/selfishness exist in man and other ...
