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:

A mechanism for social selection and successful altruism
TL;DR: A simple and robust mechanism, based on human docility and bounded rationality, is proposed that can account for the evolutionary success of genuinely altruistic behavior.

Age preferences in mates reflect sex differences in human reproductive strategies.
TL;DR: In this article, an evolutionary model was proposed to explain age preferences in personal advertisements from newspapers in Arizona West Germany the Netherlands and India and in singles advertisements by financially successful US women and men in the United States.

Influence of a predator on the optimal foraging behaviour of sticklebacks ( Gasterosteus aculeatus L.)
Manfred Milinski,Rolf Heller +1 more
TL;DR: Three-spined sticklebacks' foraging behaviour changes such that they attack swarm regions of lower density which provide a lower feeding rate but should increase their ability to detect an approaching predator, predicted by a model using Pontryagin's principle of maximisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the evolution of despotic versus egalitarian societies
TL;DR: An optimization model provides insights into the interactions between a basic behavioural process, i.e. dominance, and ecological contexts in determining aspects of population structure such as group size, dispersal pattern, group composition, and fitness bias within groups.

Why people punish defectors : weak conformist transmission can stabilize costly enforcement of norms in cooperative dilemmas
Joseph Henrich,Robert Boyd +1 more
TL;DR: A cultural evolutionary model in which norms for cooperation and punishment are acquired via two cognitive mechanisms: payoff-biased transmission- a tendency to copy the most successful individual; and conformist transmission-a tendency to Copy the most frequent behavior in the population is presented.

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.
