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 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].

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.

Crypt cells are involved in kin recognition in larval zebrafish. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Zebrafish larvae imprint on visual and olfactory kin cues at day 5 and 6 postfertilization, respectively, resulting in kin recognition later in life. Exposure to non-kin cues prevents imprinting and kin recognition.

Gut microbiota and kin recognition
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2013 International audienceThe animal gut contains a large reservoir of symbionts. Whilst these microbes have obvious physiological functions in, for example, digestion and immune defence, they can also affect their host’s behavior.

Plant kin recognition enhances abundance of symbiotic microbial partner. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe stability of cooperative interactions among different species can be compromised by cheating. In the plant-mycorrhizal fungi symbiosis, a single mycorrhizal network may interact with many plants, providing the opportunity for individual ...

Kin recognition in plants? [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2008 In a recent article in Biology Letters , [Dudley & File (2007)][1] claim to have demonstrated kin recognition and altruistic behaviour towards related individuals in an annual plant. This is an extraordinary claim and, if true, has far-reaching implications for many topics in plant ecology ...

Next of Kin’s experiences of opportunities and limitations in user involvement: a qualitative study in a rural norwegian municipality [PDF]
International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health & Well-BeingPurpose User involvement is a fundamental value in Norwegian health and welfare policies. However, next of kin’s experiences of user involvement in municipal health and care services have not been sufficiently investigated in earlier research, despite ...

Kin recognition affects plant communication and defence. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2013 The ability of many animals to recognize kin has allowed them to evolve diverse cooperative behaviours; such ability is less well studied for plants.

Kin recognition in Drosophila: the importance of ecology and gut microbiota. [PDF]
ISME J, 2014 International audienceThe animal gut commonly contains a large reservoir of symbiotic microbes. Although these microbes have obvious functions in digestion and immune defence, gut microbes can also affect behaviour.
