Inclusive fitness for in-laws [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2018 Cooperation among kin is common across the natural world and can be explained in terms of inclusive fitness theory, which holds that individuals can derive indirect fitness benefits from aiding genetically related individuals. However, human kinship includes not only genetic kin but also kin by marriage: our affines (in-laws) and spouses ...

Evaluating inclusive fitness [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 In 2010, a contentious debate erupted in the field of evolutionary biology in response to an article published in the journal Nature by two mathematical biologists, Martin Nowak and Corina Tarnita, and the renowned evolutionary theorist and entomologist, E.O. Wilson [1].

Fitness, inclusive fitness, and optimization [PDF]
Biology and Philosophy, 2014 Individual-as-maximizing agent analogies result in a simple understanding of the functioning of the biological world. Identifying the conditions under which individuals can be regarded as fitness maximizing agents is thus of considerable interest to biologists.

How to make an inclusive-fitness model. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2023 Social behaviours are typically modelled using neighbour-modulated fitness, which focuses on individuals having their fitness altered by neighbours. However, these models are either interpreted using inclusive fitness, which focuses on individuals altering the fitness of neighbours, or not interpreted at all.

Inclusive fitness in agriculture. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2014 Trade-offs between individual fitness and the collective performance of crop and below-ground symbiont communities are common in agriculture. Plant competitiveness for light and soil resources is key to individual fitness, but higher investments in stems and roots by a plant community to compete for those resources ultimately reduce crop yields ...

The inclusive fitness controversy: finding a way forward [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 This paper attempts to reconcile critics and defenders of inclusive fitness by constructing a synthesis that does justice to the insights of both. I argue that criticisms of the regression-based version of Hamilton's rule, although they undermine its use

Extending the range of additivity in using inclusive fitness [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Inclusive fitness is a concept widely utilized by social biologists as the quantity organisms appear designed to maximize. However, inclusive fitness theory has long been criticized on the (uncontested) grounds that other quantities, such as offspring ...

Inclusive fitness forces of selection in an age-structured population [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2023 Hamilton’s force of selection acting against age-specific mortality is constant and maximal prior to the age of first reproduction, before declining to zero at the age of last reproduction.

Fitness for all: how do non-disabled people respond to inclusive fitness centres? [PDF]
BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2021 Background Representation of people with disabilities in fitness centres is lacking, despite initiatives to promote inclusion mainly in the UK and USA.

Honest signaling and the double counting of inclusive fitness [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2019 Inclusive fitness requires a careful accounting of all the fitness effects of a particular behavior. Verbal arguments can potentially exaggerate the inclusive fitness consequences of a behavior by including the fitness of relatives that was not caused by
