The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Hamilton's legacy: kinship, cooperation and social tolerance in mammalian groups (2014, background): “In such cases, the direct costs of competition among kin may counteract the benefits of cooperation (Queller, 1994; West, Murray, Machado, Griffin, & Herre, 2001; Wilson, Pollock, & Dugatkin, 1992).”
The evolution of cooperation and altruism – a general framework and a classification of models (2006, background): “…(8), xr measures the extent to which individuals are more related in altruistic than in competitive interactions, in line with the view that individuals must be more related in altruistic than in competitive interactions for helping to evolve when it results in a net fecundity cost (Queller, 1994).”
Social evolution theory for microorganisms (2006, background): “In addition, spatial structuring through limited dispersal is not always good for cooperation as it leads to increased competition between relatives, which can reduce or remove kin selection for altruis”
A genetic analysis of breeding success in the cooperative meerkat (Suricata suricatta) (2003, background): “disperse from their natal groups; and (3) the extent to which competition between relatives reduces the kin-selected benefits of helping raise relatives (Frank, 1998; Queller, 1994; West et al., 2001, 2002).”
