Grandparental investment: past, present, and future.
David A. Coall,Ralph Hertwig +1 more
TL;DR: Although grandparents in industrialized societies continue to invest substantial amounts of time and money in their grandchildren, there is a paucity of studies investigating the influence that this investment has on grandchildren in low-risk family contexts, and a more comprehensive theoretical framework of grandparental investment is called for.

Sixteen common misconceptions about the evolution of cooperation in humans
TL;DR: The aim here is to provide an accessible overview of social evolution theory and the evolutionary work on cooperation, emphasising common misconceptions.

TL;DR: This work shows that S. cerevisiae is also a model for the evolution of cooperative behavior by revisiting flocculation, a self-adherence phenotype lacking in most laboratory strains, and expresses the gene FLO1, which is driven by one of a few known "green beard genes," which direct cooperation toward other carriers of the same gene.

Universal scaling for the dilemma strength in evolutionary games.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed new universal scaling parameters for the dilemma strength, and proved universality by showing that the conditions for an ESS and the expressions for the internal equilibriums in an infinite, well-mixed population subjected to any of the five reciprocity mechanisms depend only on the new scaling parameters.

Social relationships among adult female baboons
TL;DR: In this paper, female baboons were studied over a 15-month period which included sexual cycling, pregnancy, and lactation, and it was found that high-ranking females were more attractive than others.

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.
