Olfactory kin recognition in a songbird [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2012 The ability to recognize close relatives in order to cooperate or to avoid inbreeding is widespread across all taxa. One accepted mechanism for kin recognition in birds is associative learning of visual or acoustic cues. However, how could individuals ever learn to recognize unfamiliar kin?

takeout gene expression is associated with temporal kin recognition [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 A key component of parental care is avoiding killing and eating one's own offspring. Many organisms commit infanticide but switch to parental care when their own offspring are expected, known as temporal kin recognition.

Kin Recognition in Bacteria [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2016 The ability of bacteria to recognize kin provides a means to form social groups. In turn these groups can lead to cooperative behaviors that surpass the ability of the individual. Kin recognition involves specific biochemical interactions between a receptor(s) and an identification molecule(s).

The effects of genetic distance, nutrient conditions, and recognition ways on outcomes of kin recognition in Glechoma longituba [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Kin recognition might help plants decrease competitive cost and improve inclusive fitness with close genes; thus it might interact with environmental factors to affect communities.

Involvement of Flagellin in Kin Recognition between Bacillus velezensis Strains [PDF]
mSystems, 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

Kin Recognition in an Herbicide-Resistant Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli L.) Biotype [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Despite increasing evidence of kin recognition in natural and crop plants, there is a lack of knowledge of kin recognition in herbicide-resistant weeds that are escalating in cropping systems.

Multiple social encounters can eliminate Crozier’s paradox and stabilise genetic kin recognition [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Crozier’s paradox suggests that genetic kin recognition will not be evolutionarily stable. Here, the authors show that allowing for multiple social encounters before each social interaction can eliminate Crozier’s paradox and stabilise genetic kin ...

Kin-recognition and predation shape collective behaviors in the cannibalistic nematode Pristionchus pacificus. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2023 Kin-recognition is observed across diverse species forming an important behavioral adaptation influencing organismal interactions. In many species, the molecular mechanisms involved are difficult to characterize, but in the nematode Pristionchus ...

A Meta-Analysis of Response Strategies and Interfering Factors of Kin Recognition in Plants [PDF]
PlantsConspecific plants exhibit morphological and biochemical plasticity in response to genetic relatedness in varying environments. However, the response strategies and factors influencing kin recognition in plants remain unclear.

No evidence for kin recognition in a passerine bird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Theory predicts that individuals behave altruistically towards their relatives. Hence, some form of kin recognition is useful for individuals to optimize their behavior.
