The Evolution of Cooperation
TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma game was developed for cooperation in organisms, and the results of a computer tournament showed how cooperation based on reciprocity can get started in an asocial world, can thrive while interacting with a wide range of other strategies, and can resist invasion once fully established.
Book
The Selfish Gene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take up the concepts of altruistic and selfish behaviour; the genetical definition of selfish interest; the evolution of aggressive behaviour; kinship theory; sex ratio theory; reciprocal altruism; deceit; and the natural selection of sex differences.

The Evolution of Reciprocal Altruism
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is presented to account for the natural selection of what is termed reciprocally altruistic behavior, and the model shows how selection can operate against the cheater (non-reciprocator) in the system.

Physiological prerequisites of social reproduction in the Hymenoptera
TL;DR: The physiological prerequisites of social organization in the Hymenoptera, haplo-diploid sex control, ovisorption, imaginal diapause, and female communication culminate in social reproduction in which the «starvation» phenomenon is «exquisitely regulated and exploited».

Probable Parasitism Among Australian Bees of the Genus Allodapula (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Ceratinini)
TL;DR: Allodapula associata , although equipped with pollencollecting hairs, has been found in four different nests of A. unicolor (Smith) and is believed to be a social parasite.

Co-Operative Nest-Founding by the Wasp, Polistes Annularis Linn.
TL;DR: It is observed, in the spring of 1940, that as the nest increases in size, other queens attach themselves to the colony and help the original foundresses carry on the work.
