Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and SystematicsKin selection may act directly on individuals expressing a particular trait as well as indirectly through the trait's effect on the fitness of their relatives. This insight has fundamentally transformed our understanding of the evolution of animal behavior—especially social behavior—but it is relevant to any organism in which individuals interact with ...

, 2020 A foundational component of social evolution theory and a broader view of natural selection where fitness effects on genetic relatives are explicitly accounted for. Kin selection is particularly well known as an explanation for the evolution of altruism: a trait that is costly to its bearer can spread in a population if it has beneficial effects on ...

, 2015 The theory of kin selection is the foundation for the study of social evolution. Here I discuss the historical origins of the theory, provide a mathematical overview, review the various mechanisms that give rise to kin selection, and explain its ...

Kin Selection and Group Selection
, 2017 In group-structured populations in which some other assumptions are satisfied, kin and group selectionist methods provide formally equivalent conditions for change. However, this only shows an equivalence between two statistical methodologies, and this is compatible with there being a real, causal distinction between kin and group selection processes ...

Advanced eusociality, kin selection and male haploidy
Australian Journal of Entomology, 2008 The generation-long primacy of kin selection in explaining the evolution of advanced eusociality in social insects has been challenged in recent papers. Does this challenge succeed?

Kin Selection and the Evolution of Monogamy
Science, 1988A two-locus genetic model is studied in which one locus controls the tendency of individuals to act altruistically toward siblings and the other locus controls the mating habits of females. It is demonstrated that genetic variation at the altruism locus is often sufficient to induce an increase in the frequency of genes that cause females to produce ...

A General Model for Kin Selection
Evolution, 1992Inclusive fitness theory is central to our understanding of the evolution of social behavior. By showing the importance of genetic transmission through nondescendent relatives, it helps to explain the evolution of reproductively altruistic behaviors, such as those observed in the social insects.

Multilevel Selection in Kin Selection Language
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016Few issues have raised more debate among evolutionary biologists than kin selection (KS) versus multilevel selection (MLS). They are formally equivalent, but use different-looking mathematical approaches, and are not causally equivalent: for a given problem KS can be a more suitable causal explanation than MLS, and vice versa.

Group Selection and Kin Selection
Nature, 1964WYNNE-EDWARDS1,2 has argued persuasively for the importance of behaviour in regulating the density of animal populations, and has suggested that since such behaviour favours the survival of the group and not of the individual it must have evolved by a process of group selection. It is the purpose of this communication to consider how far this is likely

Change in gene frequency under kin selection is the sum of two components, namely, Δ̅ q ̅ I , a change in gene frequency caused by individual selection, and Δ q G , a change caused by group selection. For the evolution of altruistic traits by kin selection,
