Behavior Genetics, 1988
I develop the argument that for a true kin recognition system to evolve, selection must act on both parties: not only must recognition be favored in the donor of care, but reliable identification must be favored in the potential recipient of the care. This perspective suggests two complementary hypotheses, which I discuss and evaluate with data drawn ...

Olfaction and human kin recognition
Genetica, 1998Humans, like other mammals, are capable of discriminating between kin and non-kin by olfactory cues alone. Shortly after birth, breastfed infants become familiar with, and respond preferentially to, their mother's unique odor signature. Mothers likewise recognize the characteristic scent of their newborn infant.

Evolutionary Biology Kin selection, the selection of behaviors that benefit kin, is key to social and cooperative behavior. Primates can recognize kin through heritable facial traits. The question is whether this behavior is incidental from shared genes or if it is instead subject to selection. Charpentier et al.

Kin recognition, the ability to identify and respond differentially to one's genetic relatives, is one of the fastest growing and most exciting areas of ethology. Dr Hepper has brought together leading researchers in the field to create a thought-provoking and critical analysis of our current knowledge of the phenomenon, with particular emphasis on the

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1987
Although kin recognition mechanisms are necessary neither for the operation of kin selection nor for optimal mate selection (e.g. inbreeding avoidance), once established, such mechanisms may accelerate the evolution of kin-directed behaviors. Aside from spatially-based recognition, in which organisms adjust their behavior principally in response to ...

The Aesthetics of Kin Recognition
The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 1999L'autonomie et le caractere special du savoir non-rationnel constituent une enigme de longue date en epistemologie. L'A. soutient qu'une variete bien decrite de savoir non-rationnel, la perception esthetique, est une elaboration culturelle de la faculte humaine universelle et non-rationnelle de la reconnaissance des liens de parente.

NESTMATE RECOGNITION AND KIN RECOGNITION IN ANTS
Insect Science, 2000Abstract All ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) are highly eusocial insects that are characterized by reproductive division of labor with sterile castes (worker and soldier) helping fertile castes (queen and male) to reproduce.Ant societies, like other complex animal societies, have developed a sophisticated communication system, in which recognition ...

Kin recognition and cannibalism in a subsocial spider
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2001Abstract Evolution of cooperation and group living in spiders from subsocial family groups may be constrained by their cannibalistic nature. A tendency to avoid cannibalizing kin may facilitate tolerance among spiders and implies the ability to identify relatives.

Kin and Individual Recognition
1999We summarize a series of experiments on the mechanisms of individual and kin recognition by odor cues in two species of hamsters, golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) and Turkish hamsters (M brandti). Using habituation-discrimination methods, we demonstrated that the flank gland odors of full-siblings are sufficiently similar that they are not ...
