Mating systems, philopatry and dispersal in birds and mammals
TLDR
It is argued that the direction of the sex bias is a consequence of the type of mating system, and Philopatry will favour the evolution of cooperative traits between members of the sedentary sex.About:

Inbreeding depression and its evolutionary consequences
TL;DR: The evidence that the evolution of breeding systems of animals and plants has been significantly influenced by the occurrence of inbreeding depression is reviewed, and the contemporary genetic theory of inmarriage depression and heterosis and the experimental data concerning the strength of in breeding depression are considered.

Causes and consequences of animal dispersal strategies: relating individual behaviour to spatial dynamics.
Diana E. Bowler,Tim G. Benton +1 more
TL;DR: Logistical difficulties preclude a detailed study of dispersal for many species, however incorporating unrealistic dispersal assumptions in spatial population models may yield inaccurate and costly predictions, and further studies are necessary to explore the importance of incorporating specific condition‐dependent dispersal strategies for evolutionary and population dynamic predictions.

The natal and breeding dispersal of birds
and P J Greenwood,Paul H. Harvey +1 more
TL;DR: Over 40 years ago, ornithologists studying the movement of birds in relation to their birth and breeding sites were preoccupied with estimating the extent of mixing of individuals within a species's range, with major disagreements about how far young birds dispersed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammalian mating systems.
TL;DR: Much of the variation in mammalian mating bonds and systems of mate guarding can be attributed to differences in these three variables: the effect of male assistance in rearing young and to the defensibility of females by males.
Book
Male, Female: The Evolution of Human Sex Differences
TL;DR: Geary presents a theoretical bridge linking parenting, mate choices, and competition, with children's development and sex differences in brain and cognition, in a lively and nuanced application of Darwin's insight to help explain the authors' heritage and their place in the natural world.

The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour. I
TL;DR: A genetical mathematical model is described which allows for interactions between relatives on one another's fitness and a quantity is found which incorporates the maximizing property of Darwinian fitness, named “inclusive fitness”.
