The interplay between relatedness and horizontal gene transfer drives the evolution of plasmid-carried public goods
Sorcha É. Mc Ginty,Sorcha É. Mc Ginty,Laurent Lehmann,Sam P. Brown,Daniel J. Rankin,Daniel J. Rankin +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, owing to its effect on relatedness, plasmid mobility increases the invasion and stability of public goods, in a way not seen in individually beneficial traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Selective Sources: Partitioning Selection Based on Interactions
TL;DR: A general method by which selection due to interspecific interactions may be quantified is presented, based on past quantitative genetic models of selection, and can be used with other methodologies that build on these standard models.

The general form of Hamilton’s rule makes no predictions and cannot be tested empirically
TL;DR: A widely endorsed formulation of Hamilton’s rule is investigated, which is said to be as general as natural selection itself, and it turns out that the parameters B and C depend on the change in average trait value and therefore cannot predict that change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionarily Stable Strategy Sex Ratios When Correlates of Relatedness can be Assessed
TL;DR: An inclusive fitness model in a patch-structured population with partial dispersal of mated offspring finds that natives should employ a more female-biased sex ratio than immigrants, and results fit sex ratio data in a thrips Hoplothrips pedicularius population.

Hamilton's rule.
Matthijs van Veelen,Matthijs van Veelen,Benjamin L. Allen,Moshe Hoffman,Burton Simon,Carl Veller +5 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews and addresses a variety of issues relating to inclusive fitness, and considers cases where the qualitative claim that relatedness fosters cooperation holds, even if Hamilton's rule as a quantitative prediction does not.
