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 fitness of behavior sequences
Richard M. Sibly,David McFarland +1 more
TL;DR: The aim is to demonstrate a method of determining the extent to which behavior maximizes fitness, and to test specifically whether deployment of behavioral options is optimally related to environmental conditions.

Evolution of the human life cycle
Barry Bogin,B. Holly Smith +1 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the new life stages of the human life cycle represent feeding and reproductive specializations of the genus Homo.

Sanctions, Cooperation, and the Stability of Plant-Rhizosphere Mutualisms
E. Toby Kiers,R. Ford Denison +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that despite sanctions, less-effective symbionts still persist and is suggested this is because of mixed infection at spatial scales that limit the effects of sanctions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Kinship Theory of Genomic Imprinting
TL;DR: This work has shown that at autosomal loci subject to random X inactivation, the process is predicted to lead to quantitative differences of expression between maternal and paternal alleles but not to complete silencing of one allele.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Inheritance of Territory in Group-Breeding Birds
TL;DR: It is hypothesized in this paper that, in certain species, remaining home and helping represents a strategy used by nonbreeders to inherit the space necessary for breeding.

Book
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.
