TLDR
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”.About:

Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations
TL;DR: The results support the idea that QS is used to coordinate the switching on of social behaviors at high densities when such behaviors are more efficient and will provide the greatest benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Religion and morality.
Ryan McKay,Harvey Whitehouse +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that to make progress, the categories “religion” and “morality” must be fractionated into a set of biologically and psychologically cogent traits, revealing the cognitive foundations that shape and constrain relevant cultural variants.

Hatching Asynchrony and the Onset of Incubation in Birds, Revisited
TL;DR: In most animals, offspring from a reproductive bout usually hatch, emerge, or are born within a relatively short time of each other compared to the time required for their development, so hatching or birthing in most animals is synchronous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supergenes and their role in evolution.
M. J. Thompson,Chris D. Jiggins +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the supergene concept remains relevant and is more testable than ever with modern molecular methods, conclusively showing that balanced polymorphism can be maintained at multiple coadapted and tightly linked elements.

Animal dispersion in relation to social behaviour
TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.
