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 ...

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.

Adaptation and Inclusive Fitness [PDF]

Current Biology, 2013
Inclusive fitness theory captures how individuals can influence the transmission of their genes to future generations by influencing either their own reproductive success or that of related individuals. This framework is frequently used for studying the way in which natural selection leads to organisms being adapted to their environments.

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 ...

Fitness, inclusive fitness, and optimization [PDF]

Biology & 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.

Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality [PDF]

Nature, 2011
Arising from M. A. Nowak, C. E. Tarnita & E. O. Wilson 466, 1057-1062 (2010); Nowak et al. reply. Nowak et al. argue that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explaining the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality.

Formalizing Darwinism and inclusive fitness theory [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009
Inclusive fitness maximization is a basic building block for biological contributions to any theory of the evolution of society. There is a view in mathematical population genetics that nothing is caused to be maximized in the process of natural selection, but this is explained as arising from a misunderstanding about the meaning of fitness ...

Inclusive Fitness, Altruism and Family Adaptation

The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 1983
An integrative model of family functioning is put forward using a sociobiological framework. Three key socio-biological concepts that have a relevance to family interaction are inclusive fitness, altruism, and a struggle for status. The term ‘inclusive fitness’ encompasses the parents’ own fitness and that of their kith and kin.

The validity and value of inclusive fitness theory [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011
Social evolution is a central topic in evolutionary biology, with the evolution of eusociality (societies with altruistic, non-reproductive helpers) representing a long-standing evolutionary conundrum. Recent critiques have questioned the validity of the leading theory for explaining social evolution and eusociality, namely inclusive fitness (kin ...

Do Relatives With Greater Reproductive Potential Get Help First?: A Test of the Inclusive Fitness Explanation of Kin Altruism [PDF]

Evolutionary Psychology, 2019
According to inclusive fitness theory, people are more willing to help those they are genetically related to because relatives share a kin altruism gene and are able to pass it along.
