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:

The Market Effect: an Explanation for Pay‐off Asymmetries among Collaborating Animals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose coalition games, a class of games with more than two players and in which bargaining is possible, as suitable paradigms for collaboration among members of social units.

Adaptive sex allocation in birds: the complexities of linking theory and practice.
Jan Komdeur,Ido Pen +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that standard sex allocation models, very helpful in understanding sex allocation of invertebrates, do not sufficiently take the complexities of bird life histories and physiology into account and that experimental field and laboratory studies on sex allocation in birds are scarce.

Measuring phenotypic assortment in animal social networks: weighted associations are more robust than binary edges
TL;DR: This paper extends existing approaches that calculate the assortativity coefficient of both nominal classes and continuous traits to incorporate weighted associations and uses simulated networks to show that weighted assortment coefficients are more robust than those calculated on binary networks to added noise that could arise from random interactions or sampling errors.

Which humans behave adaptively, and why does it matter?
TL;DR: It is argued to the contrary that knowledge of the contexts in which people do or do not behave adaptively provides important information about the nature of the mechanisms that comprise the human psyche.

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.
