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:

Stochasticity in evolution
TL;DR: It is shown that stochasticity, by directly steering evolution, has become an essential ingredient of evolutionary theory beyond the classical Wright-Fisher or neutralist-selectionist debates.

Reciprocal benefits of allomothering for female vervet monkeys
TL;DR: The authors found that females who had more experience in caretaking and carrying infants as juveniles were more likely to rear their first live-born infants successfully and females who used allomothers more often were able to spend more time away from their infants in the first 3 months of the infant's life, without leaving their infants alone, and were also able to shorten the interval to the birth of their next infant.

Varieties of modules: kinds, levels, origins, and behaviors.
TL;DR: This article began as a review of a conference, organized by Gerhard Schlosser, entitled "Modularity in Development and Evolution," but subsequently metamorphosed into a literature and concept review as well as an analysis of the differences in current perspectives on modularity.

Reciprocal altruism in bats and other mammals
TL;DR: It is suggested that reciprocal altruism can be selectively more important than kin selection when altruistic behaviors in a relatively large social group occur frequently and provide a major fitness benefit to the recipient even when that recipient is related to the donor.

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.
