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:

Effects of prenatal stress on behaviour of offspring of laboratory and farmed mammals
TL;DR: Evidence mainly from studies of rodents and primates strongly indicates that prenatal stress can impair stress-coping ability, and is able to cause a disruption of behaviour in aversive or conflict-inducing situations in juvenile and adult offspring.

Sex-biased dispersal in sperm whales: contrasting mitochondrial and nuclear genetic structure of global populations.
TL;DR: Comparisons between oceans suggest that interoceanic movements have been more prevalent among males than among females, consistent with observations of females being the philopatric sex and having a more limited latitudinal distribution than males.

Inbreeding and relatedness coefficients: what do they measure?
TL;DR: This paper reviews and discusses what is known about the relationship between identity in state, allele frequency, inbreeding coefficients, and identity by descent in various uses of these terms.

How does selection reconcile individual advantage with the good of the group
TL;DR: It is shown how selection within populations may reconcile individual and group advantage, as in the evolution of "honest meioses" resistant to segregation distortion, and the avoidance of the "cost of sex".

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.
