Socially Enforced Nepotism: How Norms and Reputation Can Amplify Kin Altruism. by Doug Jones

“…Kin selection, which can lead organisms to behave altruistically to their genetic relatives, works differently when-as is often the case in human societies-altruism can be boosted by social pressure. …”

Joint evolution of kin recognition and cooperation in spatially structured rhizobium populations. by Peter C Zee, James D Bever

“…Two potential ways to explain this problem are spatially structured environments (kin selection) and kin-recognition (directed benefits). …”

A teoria da dupla herança e a evolução da moralidade by Fábio Portela Lopes de Almeida, Paulo Cesar coelho Abrantes

“…Sociobiology and evolutionary psychology address these issues by presupposing mechanisms such as kin selection and reciprocal altruism. However, these mechanisms can’t account for cooperation in the human species. …”

How Facial Expressions of Recipients Influence Online Prosocial Behaviors?—Evidence from Big Data Analysis on Tencent Gongyi Platform by Lihan He, Tianguang Meng

“…As a result, the conventional theories of kin selection and reciprocal altruism fall short in completely elucidating online prosocial behavior. …”

The origin of cooperation by Koduri, Nihal, Lo, Andrew W

“…This mechanism is distinct from standard biological explanations like kin selection, group selection, and reciprocity, and relies only on natural selection, and without recourse to notions of evolutionary stability.…”

“…<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>Kin selection—helping genetically related individuals even at a cost to oneself—can be evolutionarily advantageous. …”

The benefits of help in cooperative birds – non-existent or difficult to detect? by Downing, PA, Griffin, AS, Cornwallis, CK

“…In birds that breed cooperatively in family groups, adult offspring often delay dispersal to assist the breeding pair in raising their young. Kin selection is thought to play an important role in the evolution of this breeding system. …”

A general ploidy model for the evolution of helping in viscous populations. by Yeh, A, Gardner, A

“…There is growing interest in understanding how kin selection drives the evolution of social behaviours in viscous populations. …”

Assortment and the analysis of natural selection on social traits by McDonald, G, Farine, D, Foster, K, Biernaskie, J

“…We discuss links between social selection and kin selection theory, and we provide a practical guide for the social selection approach. …”

Pleiotropy, cooperation, and the social evolution of genetic architecture by dos Santos, M, Ghoul, M, West, S

“…The hypothesis is that linking cooperation with a trait that provides a personal (private) benefit can outweigh the cost of cooperation in situations when cooperation would not be favoured by mechanisms such as kin selection. We analysed the theoretical plausibility of this hypothesis, with analytical models and individual-based simulations. …”

Social semantics: altruism, cooperation, mutualism, strong reciprocity and group selection. by West, SA, Griffin, A, Gardner, A

“…In particular, we: (i) discuss confusion over the terms kin selection, mutualism, mutual benefit, cooperation, altruism, reciprocal altruism, weak altruism, altruistic punishment, strong reciprocity, group selection and direct fitness; (ii) emphasize the need to distinguish between proximate (mechanism) and ultimate (survival value) explanations of behaviours. …”

Inclusive fitness consequences of dispersal decisions in a cooperatively breeding bird, the long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) by Green, J, Hatchwell, B

“…This is especially true in social species, in which natal philopatry allows kin selection to operate, so direct and indirect components of inclusive fitness have to be considered when evaluating selection on dispersal. …”

Why die for my sibling? The positive association between identity fusion and imagined loss with endorsement of self-sacrifice by Vázquez, A, Ordoñana, JR, Whitehouse, H, Gómez, A

“…Overall, these results suggest that identity fusion might contribute towards explaining self-sacrifice among genetically related individuals as predicted by the theory of kin selection.…”

Stochasticity and non-additivity expose hidden evolutionary pathways to cooperation. by Sarah E Fumagalli, Sean H Rice

“…Our model compliments traditional cooperation models (kin selection, reciprocal cooperation, green beard effect, etc.) and applies to a broad range of cooperative interactions seen in nature.…”

A quantitative test of Hamilton's rule for the evolution of altruism. by Markus Waibel, Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

“…In addition to providing the first quantitative test of Hamilton's rule in a system with a complex mapping between genotype and phenotype, these experiments demonstrate the wide applicability of kin selection theory.…”

Designing information provision to serve as a reminder of altruistic benefits: A case study of the risks of air pollution caused by industrialization. by Hidenori Komatsu, Hiromi Kubota, Nobuyuki Tanaka, Hirotada Ohashi

“…Our multi-agent simulation model, which was constructed to identify attributes contributing to subjective assessment of a risk source based on kin selection theory, showed that support from relatives can affect the agents' subjective risk assessment. …”

Is bacterial persistence a social trait? by Andy Gardner, Stuart A West, Ashleigh S Griffin

“…This raises the possibility that persistence is a social trait, which can be influenced by kin selection. We develop a theoretical model to investigate the social consequences of persistence. …”

Psicologia evolucionista e a seleção sexual: o caso da linguagem by Fernando Orphão de Carvalho

“…Na tentativa de entender o caráter adaptativo e a história evolucionária dos processos cognitivos subjacentes ao comportamento lingüístico, uma série de mecanismos e conceitos advindos da teoria evolucionária tem tido, recentemente, sua potencial relevância aferida em uma série de estudos, entre eles, o chamado "Efeito Baldwin" e a teoria da seleção inclusiva (Kin Selection Theory). No presente trabalho, é oferecida, além de uma breve revisão do conceito de seleção sexual e do seu uso e status na Psicologia Evolucionista, uma crítica de uma proposta particular acerca do papel que o processo de seleção sexual possa ter tido no desenvolvimento da capacidade de linguagem na linhagem do Homo sapiens sapiens. …”
