Kin recognition: function and mechanism in avian societies [PDF]
Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 1999 Cooperative behaviour resulting from kin selection is widespread among animals and the ability to recognize and discriminate between kin and non-kin is a critical element in kin selection theory. Current evidence suggests that associative learning is the most likely mechanism of kin discrimination. However, surprisingly, there have been no experimental

Neural pathways of olfactory kin imprinting and kin recognition in zebrafish. [PDF]
Cell Tissue Res, 2021 AbstractTeleost fish exhibit extraordinary cognitive skills that are comparable to those of mammals and birds. Kin recognition based on olfactory and visual imprinting requires neuronal circuits that were assumed to be necessarily dependent on the interaction of mammalian amygdala, hippocampus, and isocortex, the latter being a structure that teleost ...

Paternal kin recognition in the high frequency / ultrasonic range in a solitary foraging mammal [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2012 Background Kin selection is a driving force in the evolution of mammalian social complexity. Recognition of paternal kin using vocalizations occurs in taxa with cohesive, complex social groups.

Kin recognition in rattlesnakes [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2004 Snakes are often regarded as the least social of all vertebrate groups, but this assumption stems from the fact that they are secretive and difficult to observe in nature, rather than direct evidence. Recent studies have revealed a surprising degree of social complexity in snakes.

Joint evolution of kin recognition and cooperation in spatially structured rhizobium populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In the face of costs, cooperative interactions maintained over evolutionary time present a central question in biology. What forces maintain this cooperation? Two potential ways to explain this problem are spatially structured environments (kin selection)

Kin Recognition in the Parasitic Plant Triphysaria versicolor Is Mediated Through Root Exudates [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Triphysaria is a facultative parasitic plant in the Orobanchaceae that parasitizes the roots of a wide range of host plants including Arabidopsis, Medicago, rice and maize.

Kin recognition in an annual plant [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2007 Kin recognition is important in animal social systems. However, though plants often compete with kin, there has been as yet no direct evidence that plants recognize kin in competitive interactions. Here we show in the annual plant Cakile edentula , allocation to roots increased when groups of

Journal of Plant InteractionsKin recognition in plants is a debated topic, with mixed evidence on whether plants can distinguish kin from non-kin and adjust their behavior accordingly.

Direct visualization of a molecular handshake that governs kin recognition and tissue formation in myxobacteria [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Many organisms, including the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus, regulate their social life through kin recognition. Here, Cao and Wall show that these bacteria use a polymorphic and fluid cell-surface receptor to recognize and assemble kin cells into a ...

Kin Recognition in a Clonal Fish, Poecilia formosa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Relatedness strongly influences social behaviors in a wide variety of species. For most species, the highest typical degree of relatedness is between full siblings with 50% shared genes.
