Hamilton's rule, inclusive fitness maximization, and the goal of individual behaviour in symmetric two-player games
Samir Okasha,Johannes Martens +1 more
TL;DR: Whether one of the key components of Hamilton's original theory can be preserved when the rule is generalized to the nonadditive case in this way, namely that evolved organisms will behave as if trying to maximize their inclusive fitness in social encounters, is examined.

Senescence, selection gradients and mortality
Hal Caswell,Esther Shyu +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown in detail that age-independent mortality has no effect on the selection gradients in time-invariant, periodic, stochastic and density-dependent life cycles, and it is shown that additional early mortality increases Mp and Mf, while mortality later in life has the opposite effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spitefulness and moral values
TL;DR: This paper found that spitefulness was negatively associated with individualizing values (i.e., sensitivity to harm and fairness) such that spiteful individuals were less concerned about issues related to avoiding harm or injustice to others when making moral judgments.

Microbial evolution in vivo and in silico: methods and applications
TL;DR: This review focuses on the strengths and limitations of in vivo and in silico techniques for studying microbial evolution in the laboratory, and how these complementary approaches can be integrated in a unifying framework for elucidating microbial evolution.

Phenological shifts in North American red squirrels: disentangling the roles of phenotypic plasticity and microevolution
Jeffrey E. Lane,Andrew G. McAdam,S. Eryn McFarlane,Cory T. Williams,Murray M. Humphries,David W. Coltman,Jamieson C. Gorrell,Stan Boutin +7 more
TL;DR: The results on red squirrels provide empirical support for one potential solution: phenotypic selection arising from an environmental, as opposed to genetic, covariance between the phenotypesic trait and annual fitness.
