The Relation between Kin and Multilevel Selection: An Approach Using Causal Graphs (2016, methodology): “The second case is an example devised originally by Okasha ([2004a]), and discussed in (Okasha [2006]; Godfrey-Smith and Kerr [2013]).”
The Multiple Origins of Complex Multicellularity (2011, background): “Theorists have paid much attention to the origins of simple multicellular organisms (Buss 1987, Pfeiffer & Bonhoeffer 2003, Michod 2007, Willensdorfer 2009).”
The Problem of Biological Individuality (2010, background): “A germ‐soma view claims that an important or essential property of a biological individual is that there is a reproductive division of labor so that some parts are sterile and carry out only somatic functions, i.e., behaviors necessary for survival and growth, but not reproduction (Buss 1983, 1987; ”
Evolutionary accounts of belief in supernatural punishment: a critical review (2011, background): “The result is that human social groups in a way analogous to multicellular organismic organization (Michod, 2007) benefit from functional specialization that would not be possible without cooperative interdependence (Maynard Smith & Szathmáry, 2001; Michod & Herron, 2006; Michod, 1997).”
