Hamilton's inclusive fitness maintains heritable altruism polymorphism through rb = c.

TL;DR: The work suggests that altruism should be understood beyond rb > c, given that rb = c has the potential to explain widespread altruism polymorphisms in nature, and infer that altruistic genotypes will persist in a population by forming a stable heritable polymorphism with nonaltruistic genotype if r b = c makes inclusive fitness of the two morphs equal.

Predicting the evolutionary consequences of trophy hunting on a quantitative trait

TL;DR: It is shown that trophy hunting does lead to trophy evolution defined as change in the mean breeding value of the trait, but the fastest rates of phenotypic change attributable to trophy hunting via evolution are 1–2 orders of magnitude slower than the fastest rate of phenotypesic change reported from statistical analyses.

Are greenbeards intragenomic outlaws

TL;DR: This work develops population genetic models that formally examine selection of greenbeard phenotypes under the control of different loci and finds that, in many cases, greenbeards are not outlaws because selection for or against the greenbeard phenotype is the same across all loci.

Toward a unifying framework for evolutionary processes.

TL;DR: The framework presented here decomposes the evolutionary process into its several components in order to facilitate the identification of similarities between different models and proposes a classification of evolutionary operators based on the defining properties of the different components.
