No behavioural response to kin competition in a lekking species [PDF]

, 2016
The processes of kin selection and competition may occur simultaneously if limited individual dispersal i.e. population viscosity, is the only cause of the interactions between kin. Therefore, the net indirect benefits of a specific behaviour may largely

Modeling the origins of mammalian sociality: moderate evidence for matrilineal signatures in mouse lemur vocalizations [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: Maternal kin selection is a driving force in the evolution of mammalian social complexity and it requires that kin are distinctive from nonkin.

Limited indirect fitness benefits of male group membership in a lekking species [PDF]

, 2014
In group living species, individuals may gain the indirect fitness benefits characterizing kin selection when groups contain close relatives. However, tests of kin selection have primarily focused on cooperatively breeding and eusocial species, whereas ...

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 ...

Discrimination, Crypticity, and Incipient Taxa in Entamoeba [PDF]

, 2012
Persistent difficulties in resolving clear lineages in diverging populations of prokaryotes or unicellular eukaryotes (protistan polyphyletic groups) are challenging the classical species concept.

Kin Selection, Group Selection, and the Varieties of Population Structure

British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2017
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.

Kinship, dear enemies, and costly combat: The effects of relatedness on territorial overlap and aggression in a cooperative breeder

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Many species maintain territories, but the degree of overlap between territories and the level of aggression displayed in territorial conflicts can vary widely, even within species. Greater territorial overlap may occur when neighboring territory holders

La modulation sociale de la voix ne compromet pas le mécanisme de phenotype matching chez le mandrill

Revue de Primatologie, 2023
Kin selection theory provides a strong theoretical framework to explain the evolution of altruism and cooperative behaviour among genetically related individuals.
