Intrasexual selection: Kin competition increases male‐male territorial aggression in a monogamous cichlid fish

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
During intrasexual competition, individuals of the same sex compete for access to breeding sites and mating partners, often accompanied by aggressive behavior.

Altering Neighborhood Relatedness and Species Composition Affects Interior Douglas-Fir Size and Morphological Traits With Context-Dependent Responses

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Trees often exist in a complex ecological system with many biological interactions. Here we examine kin interactions of Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (interior Douglas-fir) both in the context of pure kin stands, in accordance with established plant ...

Self-Reported Availability of Kinship Cues during Childhood is Associated with Kin-Directed Behavior to Parents in Adulthood

Evolutionary Psychology, 2014
Reliable recognition of kin is an important factor in modulating kin-directed behaviors. For example, in selectively directing cooperative behavior to kin and diverting sexual interest away from them, kin first need to be recognized as such.

Decoding an olfactory mechanism of kin recognition and inbreeding avoidance in a primate

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Like other vertebrates, primates recognize their relatives, primarily to minimize inbreeding, but also to facilitate nepotism. Although associative, social learning is typically credited for discrimination of familiar kin, discrimination of ...

Joint evolution of multiple social traits: a kin selection analysis

, 2010
General models of the evolution of cooperation, altruism and other social behaviours have focused almost entirely on single traits, whereas it is clear that social traits commonly interact.

Kin recognition and the evolution of altruism [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
In 1964, Hamilton formalized the idea of kin selection to explain the evolution of altruistic behaviours. Since then, numerous examples from a diverse array of taxa have shown that seemingly altruistic actions towards close relatives are a common phenomenon.

Changes in the Amount and Distribution of Soil Nutrients and Neighbours Have Differential Impacts on Root and Shoot Architecture in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Plants, 2023
Plants exhibit differential behaviours through changes in biomass development and distribution in response to environmental cues, which may impact crops uniquely.

Kin recognition in humans [PDF]

, 2016
This work reviews various papers focused on human kin recognition. First, it briefly describes evolutionary reasons for kin recognition; then, it deals with issues regarding the terminology, and it continues with the introduction of recognition ...

Promiscuity Drives Self-Referent Kin Recognition

, 2006
SummaryKin selection theory has been one of the most significant advances in our understanding of social behavior [1–3]. However, the discovery of widespread promiscuity has challenged the evolutionary importance of kin selection because it reduces the ...

Kin selection, kin recognition and kin discrimination in plants revisited: A claim for considering environmental and genetic variability

, 2023
International audienceConsidering kin selection in the study of interacting conspecific plants broadens our vision of plant behaviour and brings arguments to explain plant-plant positive interactions.
