Evolving the Psychological Mechanisms for Cooperation (2005, background): “Kin-biased cooperation commonly occurs in species ranging from arthropods to apes (Bourke 1997, Chapais & Berman 2004, Silk 2002).”
Chimps of a feather sit together: chimpanzee friendships are based on homophily in personality (2014, methodology): “Maternal relatedness was based on 220 Wright's (1922) coefficient of relatedness r, ranging between 0.125 and 0.5 (Hamilton 222 1964; Chapais 2001; Silk 2002).”
When group membership gets personal: a theory of identity fusion. (2012, background): “In subsequent years, researchers reported studies of diverse taxa, ranging from amoebas (Strassman, Zhu, & Queller, 2000) to primates (Buchan, Alberts, Silk, Altmann, 2003; Chapais & Berman, 2004; Silk, 2002; Tofilski et al., 2008), indicating that willingness to self-sacrifice increases with geneti”
Hamilton's legacy: kinship, cooperation and social tolerance in mammalian groups (2014, methodology): “Published by Els now a central paradigm in evolutionary biology (Abbot et al., 2011; Foster, Wenseleers, & Ratnieks, 2006; Herbers, 2013; Silk, 2002; West et al., 2007a, 2007b).”
Psychology of Human Kin Recognition: Heuristic Cues, Erroneous Inferences, and Their Implications (2008, background): “Other cues pertain more directly to phenotypic features of the target individual.”
Kin discrimination in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta): nepotism among siblings (2004, background): “Evidence of kin discrimination has been reported for a wide variety of species (Waldman and Adler 1979; Gouzoules 1984; Fletcher and Michener 1987; Waldman 1988; Pfennig 1999; van der Jeugd et al. 2002; Silk 2002), but the mechanisms by which kin recognition is mediated are known only for a small su”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “In matrilineal primate species, females interact preferentially with close kin and selectively support close kin in agonistic encounters (Silk 2002, 2006; Kapsalis 2004).”
Association patterns and kinship in female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) of southeastern Australia (2006, unknown): “Female kin spend more time in close proximity and are more likely to aid each other [e.g., several primates, reviewed in Silk (2002) ], may share territories [e.g., great gerbils (Randall et al. 2005)] and foraging grounds [e.g., greater horseshoe bats (Rossiter et al. 2002)], may breed communally ”
Vocal alliances in Chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus) (2007, background): “Kin support each other at significantly higher rates than non-kin, and when forming alliances with non-kin, females tend to support the higher-ranking of the two opponents (reviewed by Cheney and Seyfarth 1990; Chapais 2001; Silk 2002a).”
Kin-biased social behaviour in wild adult female white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus (2008, background): “In primates generally, aggression rates among maternal kin are as high as, or higher than, aggression rates among members of different matrilines (Silk 2002).”
Do friends help each other? Patterns of female coalition formation in wild bonobos at Wamba (2016, background): “Previous studies on primates (reviewed in Kapsalis, 2004; Silk, 2002, 2006; Sterck, Watts, & van Schaik, 1997) and other social animals (reviewed in Smith, 2014; Smith et al., 2010) have revealed that the general pattern of coalition formation among females is well explained by kin selection theory.”
Evolution of Primate Social Systems (2002, background): “Residency patterns also facilitate the formation of coalitions of same-sexed members of the resident sex through kin selection and structure other details of the social behavior of both sexes (Chapais et al., 1997; Moore, 1992; Silk, 2002).”
Darwin's mistake: Explaining the discontinuity between human and nonhuman minds (2008, unknown): “…between kin and nonkin dyads based on interaction history, familiarity, spatial proximity, phenotypic cues, or some other observable regularity (see Silk 2002a for a review of the possibilities), this does not necessarily mean that they represent the entire matrilineal social structure as an…”
