Kin recognition protects cooperators against cheaters. [PDF]
Curr Biol, 2013 SummaryThe evolution of sociality and altruism is enigmatic because cooperators are constantly threatened by cheaters who benefit from cooperation without incurring its full cost [1, 2].

Influence of kinship and MHC class II genotype on visual traits in zebrafish larvae (Danio rerio). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Kin recognition can drive kin selection and the evolution of social behaviour. In zebrafish (Danio rerio, Hamilton 1822), kin recognition is based on olfactory and visual imprinting processes.

Kith or Kin? Familiarity as a Cue to Kinship in Social Birds
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Interacting with relatives provides opportunities for fitness benefits via kin-selected cooperation, but also creates potential costs through kin competition and inbreeding.

Evidence for Root Kin Recognition in the Clonal Plant Species Glechoma hederacea
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Plant competition belowground is a crucial factor that determines plant fitness and shapes plant communities. It has been shown that roots possess the ability to recognize between self and non-self individuals and modify their growth patterns accordingly.

Offspring and adult chemosensory recognition by an amphisbaenian reptile may allow maintaining familiar links in the fossorial environment [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Kin recognition is a phenomenon with an important function in maintaining cohesive social groups in animals. Several studies have examined parent–offspring recognition in species with direct parental care.

‘O sibling, where art thou?’ – a review of avian sibling recognition with respect to the mammalian literature [PDF]
, 2004 Avian literature on sibling recognition is rare compared to that developed by mammalian researchers. We compare avian and mammalian research on sibling recognition to identify why avian work is rare, how approaches differ and what avian and mammalian ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2005 The role of relatedness and diet in kin recognition was investigated in the aphidophagous ladybirds Propylea dissecta and Coccinella transversalis. Third instar larvae of both species exhibited kin recognition, as they were reluctant to consume related ...

Mandrill mothers associate with infants who look like their own offspring using phenotype matching
eLife, 2022 Behavioral discrimination of kin is a key process structuring social relationships in animals. In this study, we provide evidence for discrimination towards non-kin by third-parties through a mechanism of phenotype matching.
