Kin selection is the key to altruism [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006 Kin selection theory, also known as inclusive fitness theory, has been the subject of much debate and misunderstanding. Nevertheless, the idea that relatedness among individuals can drive the evolution of altruism has emerged as a central paradigm in evolutionary biology. Or has it? In two recent articles, E.O.

Kin Selection and Its Critics [PDF]
BioScience, 2014 Hamilton's theory of kin selection is the best-known framework for understanding the evolution of social behavior but has long been a source of controversy in evolutionary biology. A recent critique of the theory by Nowak, Tarnita, and Wilson sparked a new round of debate, which shows no signs of abating.

The genetical theory of kin selection [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2011 AbstractNatural selection operates both directly, via the impact of a trait upon the individual’s own fitness, and indirectly, via the impact of the trait upon the fitness of the individual’s genetically related social partners. These effects are often framed in terms of Hamilton’s rule,rb − c > 0, which provides the central result of social ...

Genetic Relatedness Promotes Equal Contributions of Males and Females to Brood Care in a Biparental Cichlid Fish [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionKin discrimination, that is, the differential treatment of kin and nonkin has been studied in a wide range of social contexts because kin selection theory predicts that genetic relatedness among interacting individuals can reduce conflicts and promote ...

Cooperative Behaviors in Group-Living Spider Mites
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Cooperative behaviors are evolutionary stable if the direct and/or indirect fitness benefits exceed the costs of helping. Here we discuss cooperation and behaviors akin to cooperation in subsocial group-living species of two genera of herbivorous spider ...

eLife, 2022 Evolutionary theories predict that sibling relationships will reflect a complex balance of cooperative and competitive dynamics. In most mammals, dispersal and death patterns mean that sibling relationships occur in a relatively narrow window during ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Sexual selection frequently promotes the evolution of aggressive behaviors that help males compete against their rivals, but which may harm females and hamper their fitness.
