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:

On the Role of Plant Defences in the Fluctuation of Herbivore Populations
TL;DR: The role of plant defences in creating cyclic and less regular fluctuations in herbivore density is evaluated on the basis of a case study concerning the birch Betula pubescens and the autumnal moth Oporinia autumnata as discussed by the authors.

The Statistical Mechanics of Best-Response Strategy Revision
TL;DR: The authors showed that randomizing the order in which players update their strategic choice suffices to achieve coordination on the risk-dominant strategy in symmetric 2 × 2 coordination games, where the "persistant randomness" which is necessary to achieve similar coordination with global interaction is replaced under local interaction by spatial variation in the initial condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replicator selection and the extended phenotype.
TL;DR: This paper blames the prevailing concentration on the individual for errors, and advocates a reversion to the replicator as the proper focus of evolutionary attention, by extending it to include more than one individual.

Cooperation and competition within coalitions of male lions: kin selection or game theory?
Craig Packer,Anne E. Pusey +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that breeding coalitions of male lions include non-relatives much more commonly than was generally supposed, that intra-coalition competition over females is widespread and that kinship is not the primary factor determining levels of competition.

Cell death in planktonic, photosynthetic microorganisms
Kay D. Bidle,Paul G. Falkowski +1 more
TL;DR: It seems that PCD in prokaryotic phytoplankton, and in independently evolving eukaryotic lineages, has deeply rooted origins that were appropriated and transferred to multicellular plants and animals in the past 700 million years of the Earth's history.

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.
