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.

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 ...

Ecological Drivers of Non-kin Cooperation in the Hymenoptera
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Despite the prominence of kin selection as a framework for understanding the evolution of sociality, many animal groups are comprised of unrelated individuals.

Socially Enforced Nepotism: How Norms and Reputation Can Amplify Kin Altruism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Kin selection, which can lead organisms to behave altruistically to their genetic relatives, works differently when-as is often the case in human societies-altruism can be boosted by social pressure.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Eusociality represents an extreme form of social behavior characterized by a reproductive division of labor. Eusociality necessarily evolved through kin selection, which requires interactions among related individuals.

The group selection–inclusive fitness equivalence claim: not true and not relevant
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2020 The debate on (cultural) group selection regularly suffers from an inclusive fitness overdose. The classical view is that all group selection is kin selection, and that Hamilton's rule works for all models.

Experimental evidence for kin-biased helping in a cooperatively breeding vertebrate [PDF]
, 2001 The widespread belief that kin selection is necessary for the evolution of cooperative breeding in vertebrates has recently been questioned. These doubts have primarily arisen because of the paucity of unequivocal evidence for kin preferences in ...

, 2015 Natural selection has favored the evolution of behaviors that benefit not only one's genes, but also their copies in genetically related individuals. These behaviors include optimal outbreeding (choosing a mate that is neither too closely related, nor ...
