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

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 ...

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.

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 ...
