• The evolution of teaching (2008, background): “…should take inspiration from projects investigating the costs and benefits of other cooperative behaviours (reviewed in Heinsohn & Legge 1999; Dickinson & Hatchwell 2004; see Thornton, in press for discussion of the costs of teaching in meerkats) and begin to generate data on the net fitness…”
• Variation in Individual Investment Strategies among Social Animals (2006, background): “The importance of kin selection as the major driving force behind the evolution of alloparental care has recently been questioned (Emlen 1995, 1997; Cockburn 1998; Dickinson & Hatchwell 2004).”
• Division of labour within cooperatively breeding groups (2005, background): “Apart from gains in indirect fitness (reviewed in Griffin & West, 2003), participating in group activities can yield a variety of direct benefits (Dickinson & Hatchwell, 2004), such as improved social status of the helper (Zahavi, 1990; Zahavi & Zahavi, 1997), gain in experience (Heinsohn, 1991),…”
