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:

Social insect polymorphism: hormonal regulation of plasticity in development and reproduction in the honeybee.
Klaus Hartfelder,Wolf Engels +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the hormonal regulation of plasticity in development and reproduction in the honeybee and the role of the morphogenetic hormones, juvenile hormone, and ecdysone in the adult life of honeybee.

Influence of gene flow and breeding tactics on gene diversity within populations.
TL;DR: The evolution of polygynous breeding tactics appears to be more favorable for promoting intragroup gene correlations than modification of migration rates and the asymptotic value of S. Wright's island model is not appropriate for describing genetic differences among groups within populations.

The Evolution of Eusociality
TL;DR: An evaluation of the various hypotheses proposed to explain the evolution of eusociality in Hymenoptera and Isoptera shows that genetic related ness between the workers and the reproductives they help raise may resolve the apparent paradox.

Costs of cooperative behaviour in suricates (Suricata suricatta)
Tim H. Clutton-Brock,David Gaynor,R. Kansky,Andrew D. C. MacColl,G. M. Mcilrath,P. Chadwick,P. N. M. Brotherton,J. M. O'Riain,Marta B. Manser,J. D. Skinner +9 more
TL;DR: Here it is provided of one form of cooperative behaviour that is seldom performed by parents and has substantial energetic costs to helpers, in the cooperative mongoose, Suricata suricatta, non–breeding adults commonly babysit young pups at the natal burrow for a day at a time.

Self-structuring in spatial evolutionary ecology
Sébastien Lion,Minus van Baalen +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that population viscosity is generally beneficial to cooperation, because cooperators can reap additional benefits from being clustered, and many results of kin selection theory can be recovered as emergent properties of spatial ecological dynamics.

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.
