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:

From Vigilance to Violence: Mate Retention Tactics in Married Couples
TL;DR: Key hypothesized findings include the following: Men's, but not women's, mate retention positively covaried with partner's youth and physical attractiveness, and women's but not men's, mates retention positively correlated with partner''s income and status striving.

Signalling of need by offspring to their parents
TL;DR: An alternative explanation for costly solicitation is presented by showing that the level of offspring solicitation can be a true reflection of offspring need as long as solicitation is costly and the benefits of extra resources increase with need.

The sociobiology of biofilms
TL;DR: It is argued that understanding this balance between competition and cooperation is central to building a complete and predictive model of biofilm formation, and it is concluded that the appearance of organization in biofilms can emerge without active coordination.

Evolutionary and continuous stability
TL;DR: A strategy in a population game is evolutionarily stable if, when adopted by large enough a majority in the population, it becomes advantageous against any mutant strategy.

The Evolution of Multicellularity: A Minor Major Transition?
TL;DR: Benefits of increased size and functional specialization of cells have repeatedly promoted the evolution of multicellular organisms from unicellular ancestors, but these benefits may be opposed by genetic conflicts that arise when mutant cell lineages promote their own increase at the expense of the integrity of the multice cellular organism.

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.
