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:

Reduced antinociception and plasma extravasation in mice lacking a neuropeptide Y receptor
Philippe Naveilhan,Hessameh Hassani,Guilherme de Araújo Lucas,Karin Hygge Blakeman,Jing-Xia Hao,Xiao-Jun Xu,Zsuzsanna Wiesenfeld-Hallin,Peter Thorén,Patrik Ernfors +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Y1 receptor is required for central physiological and pharmacological NPY-induced analgesia and that its activation is both sufficient and required for the release of substance P and initiation of neurogenic inflammation.

On the psychology of cooperation in humans and other primates: combining the natural history and experimental evidence of prosociality
TL;DR: The comparison suggests that humans share with their closest living relatives reactive responses to signals of need, but differ in sensitivity to signs of need and cues of being watched, as well as in the presence of proactive prosociality.
Journal ArticleDOI
The niche construction perspective: a critical appraisal
Thomas C. Scott-Phillips,Kevin N. Laland,David M. Shuker,Thomas E. Dickins,Thomas E. Dickins,Stuart A. West +5 more
TL;DR: Whether niche construction is an evolutionary process, whether NCT obscures or clarifies how natural selection leads to organismal adaptation, and whether niche construction and natural selection are of equivalent explanatory importance are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mating system of the cooperatively breeding saddle-backed tamarin (Saguinus fuscicollis)
TL;DR: The observations suggest that non-reproductive helpers may benefit from their helping behavior through a combination of inclusive fitness gains, reciprocal altruism, and the value of gaining experience at parental care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tit-for-tat or Win-stay, Lose-shift?
TL;DR: A novel approach of stochastic evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations to study mutation-selection dynamics in the presence of erroneous moves.

Book
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.
