The social and reproductive biology of Humpback Whales: an ecological perspective
TL;DR: The widespread distribution of females resulting from absence of both predation and resources during the breeding season preclude simultaneous monopolization by males of more than one potential mate, and these factors, together with a male-biased operational sex ratio, minimize the possibility of competition among females.

Social organization and kinship in the polygynous bat Phyllostomus hastatus
TL;DR: Observations and the basic biology of this bat suggest that reciprocity is the most likely means by which the system operates, and it is hypothesize that these stable clusters arise from active cooperative interactions among females on the foraging grounds.

Altruism Among Female Macaca Radiata: Explanations and Analysis of Patterns of Grooming and Coalition Formation
TL;DR: Analysis of the observed patterns of two forms of putative altruism among adult female members of a group of captive bonnet macaques (Macaca radiata) indicates that both kinship and dominance rank influence the distribution and rate of these behaviors.

Evolutionary Conditions for the Emergence of Communication in Robots
TL;DR: It is found that communication readily evolves when colonies consist of genetically similar individuals and when selection acts at the colony level, and several distinct communication systems were identified that differed in their efficiency.

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.
