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:

Maximum-likelihood estimation of relatedness.
TL;DR: Although some nonlikelihood estimators exhibit better performance with respect to specific metrics under some conditions, none approach the high level of performance exhibited by the likelihood estimator across all conditions and all metrics of performance.

Statistical Mechanics of Population: The Lattice Lotka-Volterra Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the lattice Lotka-Volterra model is used to derive the consequence of heritable traits of individual organisms upon the feature of their populations, which is defined as a Markov process of the state of a lattice space.

Bayesian Fundamentalism or Enlightenment? On the explanatory status and theoretical contributions of Bayesian models of cognition.
Matt Jones,Bradley C. Love +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the expressive power of current Bayesian models must be developed in conjunction with mechanistic considerations to offer substantive explanations of cognition, and this unification will better facilitate lasting contributions to psychological theory, avoiding the pitfalls that have plagued previous theoretical movements.

Altruistic punishment and the origin of cooperation
TL;DR: A simple evolutionary model is presented in which altruistic punishers can enter and will always come to dominate a population of contributors, defectors, and nonparticipants, suggesting that the cycle of strategies in voluntary public goods games does not persist in the presence of punishment strategies.

Paternity in eusocial Hymenoptera
TL;DR: It is concluded that reliably documented high paternity or insemination frequencies (> 2) are currently restricted to one phylogenetically isolated and highly eusocial taxon each in ants, eussocial bees and wasps (Atta, Apis and Vespula, respectively).

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.
