• Major urinary protein (MUP) profiles show dynamic changes rather than individual ‘barcode’ signatures (2015, background): “It has been a major challenge to understand how animals recognize kin, and how natural selection maintains genetic diversity for traits used to recognize kin (reviewed in Penn and Frommen, 2010; Holman et al., 2013).”
• When Terror Hits Home: Identity Fused Americans Who Saw Boston Bombing Victims as “Family” Provided Aid (2015, background): “Perceptions of group members as psychological kin are thought to stem from functional but fallible kin-detection mechanisms which evolved to help organisms recognize close genetic kin so that they could provide them with resources (Park, Schaller, & Van Vugt, 2008; Penn & Frommen, 2010).”
