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.

Kin recognition in rattlesnakes [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 Snakes are often regarded as the least social of all vertebrate groups, but this assumption stems from the fact that they are secretive and difficult to observe in nature, rather than direct evidence. Recent studies have revealed a surprising degree of social complexity in snakes.

Bio-Protocol, 2020 Many bacteria take part in self recognition and kin discrimination behavior using contact-dependent effectors. Understanding the effects these effectors cause is important to explain bacterial community formation and population dynamics.

Kin discrimination via odour in the cooperatively breeding banded mongoose [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Kin discrimination is often beneficial for group-living animals as it aids in inbreeding avoidance and providing nepotistic help. In mammals, the use of olfactory cues in kin discrimination is widespread and may occur through learning the scents of ...

mBio, 2022 Mycobacteria mediate horizontal gene transfer (HGT) by a process called distributive conjugal transfer (DCT) that is mechanistically distinct from oriT-mediated plasmid transfer.

, 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 ...

Kin-informative recognition cues in ants
, 2010 Although social groups are characterized by cooperation, they are also often the scene of conflict. In non-clonal systems, the reproductive interests of group members will differ and individuals may benefit by exploiting the cooperative efforts of other ...

Polymorphic members of the lag gene family mediate kin discrimination in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 2009 Self and kin discrimination are observed in most kingdoms of life and are mediated by highly polymorphic plasma membrane proteins. Sequence polymorphism, which is essential for effective recognition, is maintained by balancing selection.

Association between molecular markers and behavioral phenotypes in the immatures of a butterfly
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2018 Newly hatched caterpillars of the butterfly Heliconius erato phyllis routinely cannibalize eggs. In a manifestation of kin recognition they cannibalize sibling eggs less frequently than unrelated eggs.
