Extending the range of additivity in using inclusive fitness
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Inclusive fitness is a concept widely utilized by social biologists as the quantity organisms appear designed to maximize. However, inclusive fitness theory has long been criticized on the (uncontested) grounds that other quantities, such as offspring ...

Integrating the theories of kin selection and sexual selection [PDF]
, 2019 Sexual selection and kin selection are both considered special cases of natural selection. However, both topics have developed almost entirely independently, with a prominent review even suggesting that there is no overlap between the two theories.

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.

Involvement of Flagellin in Kin Recognition between Bacillus velezensis Strains
mSystems, 2022 Kin discrimination in nature is an effective way for bacteria to stabilize population cooperation and maintain progeny benefits. However, so far, the research on kin discrimination for Bacillus still has concentrated on “attack and defense” between cells

An Experimental Study of Kin Selection [PDF]
Evolution, 1980 In this paper, I report the results of an experimental study of kin selection and its influence on the tendency of larvae to cannibalize eggs in the flour beetle, Tribolium confusum. Kin selection has been defined by Maynard Smith (1964, 1976) as that evolutionary process which occurs when individuals within a randomly mating population interact with ...

F1000Research, 2016 Kin selection and multilevel selection are two major frameworks in evolutionary biology that aim at explaining the evolution of social behaviors. However, the relationship between these two theories has been plagued by controversy for almost half a ...

Evolutionary Psychology, 2020 Based on kin selection theory, amounts of grandparental investment should reflect the probability to share common genes with offspring. Adoption may represent a special case, however, yet grandparental investment in adopted children has previously been ...

Kin selection, group selection, and the varieties of population structure [PDF]
, 2018 Various results show the ‘formal equivalence’ of kin and group selectionist methodologies, but this does not preclude there being a real and useful distinction between kin and group selection processes.

On age-specific selection and extensive lifespan beyond menopause [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Standard evolutionary theory of ageing predicts weaker purifying selection on genes critical to later life stages. Prolonged post-reproductive lifespan (PPRLS), observed only in a few species like humans, is likely a result of disparate relaxation of ...

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 ...
