Kin-Mediated Male Choice and Alternative Reproductive Tactics in Spider Mites
Biology, 2020 Optimal outbreeding and kin selection theories state that the degree of kinship is a fundamental determinant in any mating system. However, the role of kinship in male choice and alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) is poorly known.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

creates potential for weak kin selection [PDF]
, 2021 Animals forming social groups that include breeders and nonbreeders present evolutionary paradoxes; why do breeders tolerate nonbreeders? And why do nonbreeders tolerate their situation? Both paradoxes are often explained with kin selection.

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 ...

Joint evolution of multiple social traits: a kin selection analysis
, 2010 General models of the evolution of cooperation, altruism and other social behaviours have focused almost entirely on single traits, whereas it is clear that social traits commonly interact.
