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:

Coevolution of strategy and structure in complex networks with dynamical linking.
TL;DR: This work provides analytic results for the limiting cases where linking dynamics is much faster than evolutionary dynamics and vice versa, and shows how the individual capacity of forming new links or severing inconvenient ones maps into the problem of strategy evolution in a well-mixed population under a different game.

Oxytocin Increases Generosity in Humans
TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that participants who were infused with 40 IU oxytocin (OT) or placebo and engaged in a blinded, one-shot decision on how to split a sum of money with a stranger that could be rejected were 80% more generous than those given a placebo.

Methodological issues and advances in biological meta-analysis
TL;DR: It is shown how the marriage between mixed-effects (hierarchical/multilevel) models and phylogenetic comparative methods has resolved most of the issues under discussion and how the use of within-study meta-analysis can improve many empirical studies typical of ecology and evolution.

Evolutionary Social Psychology
TL;DR: It is argued that the evolutionary perspective to social psychology is not untestable, not reductionist, not a theory about rigid genetic determinism,not a justification for the status quo, and not incompatible with sociocultural or cognitive analyses.

Behavioral adaptations to pathogens and parasites: Five strategies
TL;DR: To consider a behavioral pattern as having evolved to serve a parasite control function the parasite or causative agent should be shown to adversely impact the animal's fitness and the behavior in question must be show to help animals, or their offspring or group mates, in combating their exposure, or reducing their vulnerability, to the parasite.

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.
