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:

Evolution and the demand for children.
TL;DR: In this paper, an interpretation of fertility transition is offered applying facts and theories of evolution to concepts and relationships in the literature on fertility determinants, centered on a kin hypothesis involving 5 propositions: 1) Resource insolvency brought on by the birth of children has been an important selective pressure throughout human evolution and as a result humans have evolved to strive for social and economic success.

Alarm calls of Belding's ground squirrels to aerial predators: nepotism or self-preservation?
TL;DR: The data suggest that unlike trills, which increase vulnerability to terrestrial predators and function to warn relatives, whistle directly benefit callers by increasing their chances of escaping from hawks.

DNA Fingerprinting: Approaches and Applications
TL;DR: The generation of variability at VNTR loci in human DNA and the isolation and characterisation of plant sequences homologous to human hypervariable minisatellites are studied.

Evolutionary Dynamics in Set Structured Populations
TL;DR: This work constructs a general mathematical approach for studying any evolutionary game in set structured populations and derives precise conditions for cooperators to be selected over defectors in the evolution of cooperation.

The joint effects of kin, multilevel selection and indirect genetic effects on response to genetic selection
Piter Bijma,Michael J. Wade +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents a measure for the degree of multilevel selection, which is the natural partner of relatedness in expressions for response, indicating that both factors have exactly the same effect in response to selection.

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.
