KIN RECOGNITION IN ANIMALS [PDF]
Evolution, 1989 Kin recognition - the differential treatment of kin and non-kin by an individual within a species - is one of the most interesting and quickly developing topics in modern biology. Researchers have been astonished and fascinated to discover the sophistication and subtlety of the ways individuals in even simple species, distinguish not only kin from non ...

Odor-based recognition of familiar and related conspecifics: a first test conducted on captive Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Studies of kin recognition in birds have largely focused on parent-offspring recognition using auditory or visual discrimination. Recent studies indicate that birds use odors during social and familial interactions and possibly for mate choice ...

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.

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 ...

Facial expressions influence kin recognition accuracy [PDF]
, 2018 Kinship informs the allocation of pro-social and sexual behaviour. In addition to the ability to detect kin who are directly related to the observer, humans are also able to detect relatedness among others who are not related to themselves based on ...
