The Relation between Kin and Multilevel Selection: An Approach Using Causal Graphs (2016, background): “It is important to see why the re-labelling used to get from (5) to (6) is justifiable.”
Evolution and diversity of bark and Ambrosia beetles (2015, background): “Ever since the publication of Hamilton’s paper (Hamilton, 1964), several ecological conditions have been identified to generally facilitate social evolution across various animal groups, which can be roughly grouped in two categories: environmental constraints on solitary breeding and benefits of ph”
related: an R package for analysing pairwise relatedness from codominant molecular markers (2015, background): “Indeed, many interpretations of social structure and behavioural patterns only make sense in light of relatedness information and the framework of inclusive fitness (Hamilton 1964a,b; Daly & Wilson 1983; Emlen 1995; Bourke 2011).”
Kin Selection and Its Critics (2015, background): “…light on a range of biological phenomena, including dispersal, sex-ratio adjustment, worker–queen conflicts in insect colonies, the distribution of reproduction in animal societies (reproductive skew), parasite virulence, genomic imprinting, and the evolution of multicellularity (Bourke 2011a).”
