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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Social Behavior Patterns as Determinants of Reproductive Success in the Guppy, Poecilia Reticulata Peters (Pisces: Poeciliidae) an Experimental Study of the Effects of Intermale Competition, Female Choice, and Sexual Selection
TL;DR: It was hypothesized that courtship displays and conspicuous male coloration are sexually selected characters which evolved in response to the occupation of invariable habitats or specialized ecological niches by a sexually monomorphic ancestor, thus resulting in polymorphic populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution of Clutch Size in Parasitic Wasps
TL;DR: It is suggested that the limited behavioral options available to parasitic wasp larvae in a host and the frequency of superparasitism are responsible for the prevalence of larval fighting in parasitic wasps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myth of the typical primate
TL;DR: The roles of kinship, aggression, and sex in mediating primate social relationships are far less uniform across primates than the myth has implied, raising questions about the generality of models of primatesocial systems derived from “typical” primates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation and Partition of Heritability in Human Populations Using Whole-Genome Analysis Methods
TL;DR: By using genome-wide data, it is now established that SNPs in total account for far more of the genetic variation than the statistically highly significant SNPs that have been detected in genome- wide association studies.
Dissertation
Evolution of the social contract
TL;DR: This dissertation argues that humans have evolved to utilise social contracts - sets of rules that structure interactions within the authors' societies - as a means of solving problems surrounding their most basic and most important economic activity - food sharing.

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.
