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

Inclusive fitness, asymmetric competition and kin selection in plants
Oikos, 2019The findings that some plants alter their competitive phenotype in response to genetic relatedness of its conspecific neighbour (and presumed competitor) has spurred an increasing interest in plant kin‐interactions.

According to Hamilton’s kin selection theory (also known as “inclusive fitness” theory), kin selection is the process by which social evolution occurs in nature. The theory extends the genetical theory of natural selection to social behaviors and finds that their evolution is affected by the likelihood that individuals share genes (relatedness).

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,

When an animal performs an action that has consequences both for its own fitness and that of a relative, Hamilton's rule tells us that the action will be favoured by natural selection if br > c, where c is the cost to the animal that performs the action (the \`actor'), b is the benefit to its relative (the \`recipient'), and r is the relatedness of the
