11 – Sperm Competition, Kinship, and Sociality in the Aculeate Hymenoptera
TL;DR: The aim of this monograph is to explore the role of sexual dimorphism in the development of male sexual orientation and its role in the maturation of males in the context of sperm competition.

The evolutionary origin and elaboration of sociality in the aculeate Hymenoptera: maternal effects, sib-social effects, and heterochrony.
TL;DR: A verbal model for the evolutionary origin and elaboration of sib‐social care from maternal care based on the modification of the timing of expression of maternal care behaviors is presented, demonstrating that both maternal effect genes and direct effect zygotic genes are likely involved in the evolution of eusociality.

Emotional Expressivity and Trustworthiness: The Role of Nonverbal Behavior in the Evolution of Cooperation
R. Thomas Boone,Ross Buck +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that emotional expressivity can act as a marker for cooperative behavior or trustworthiness, and expand the role of nonverbal emotional processes within research on cooperation and social exchange.

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.
