Hamilton’s rule and kin competition in a finite kin population

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical Biology, 2021
Kin selection means that individuals can increase their own inclusive fitness through displaying more altruistically toward their relatives. So, Hamilton's rule says kin selection will work if the coefficient of relatedness exceeds the cost-to-benefit ratio of the altruistic act.

Foraging Payoffs Change With Group Size in Kin and Non-kin Groups of an Argyrodinae Kleptoparasitic Spider, Argyrodes miniaceus

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Evolutionary transitions from solitary to group-living are ubiquitous in animal systems. While the fitness consequences of group size changes are often investigated, the long-standing debate on whether kinship is a prerequisite of sociality is still ...

Large‐scale connectivity, cryptic population structure, and relatedness in Eastern Pacific Olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Endangered species are grouped into genetically discrete populations to direct conservation efforts. Mitochondrial control region (mtCR) haplotypes are used to elucidate deep divergences between populations, as compared to nuclear microsatellites that ...

Claimed Co-ethnics and Kin-State Citizenship in Southeastern Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The paper introduces the often neglected concept of ‘claimed co-ethnics’ in the analysis of citizenship policies. It argues that this is an interstitial category that further complicates the triadic nexus between national minorities, nationalising states

Close but Not Too Close? A Qualitative Study of How U.S. Emerging Adults Describe Their Cousin Relationships

open access: yesAdolescents
Research has provided evidence of the protective characteristics of extended family for U.S. emerging adults, but no research has specifically explored cousin relationships.

Dysregulation of extracellular matrix and Lysyl Oxidase in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV skin fibroblasts

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Type IV (aka Vascular Ehlers Danlos, or vEDS) is a dominantly inherited mutation in the Collagen 3A1 gene (COL3A1). The disease is characterized by tissue friability and age-related susceptibility to arterial aneurysm ...

Involvement of Flagellin in Kin Recognition between Bacillus velezensis Strains

open access: yesmSystems, 2022
Kin discrimination in nature is an effective way for bacteria to stabilize population cooperation and maintain progeny benefits. However, so far, the research on kin discrimination for Bacillus still has concentrated on “attack and defense” between cells

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

KIN-E localizes to the flagellum and is enriched at the flagellar tip.

open access: yes, 2018
(A). KIN-E localizes to the distal tip of the flagellum. KIN-E was endogenously tagged with a triple HA epitope, and detected with FITC-conjugated anti-HA antibody.
