The benefits of genetic diversity outweigh those of kin association in a territorial animal.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jun 2001

Griffiths S W, Armstrong J D

Abstract excerpt

The theories of kin selection and heterogeneous advantage have been central to studies of altruistic behaviour and the evolution of sex over the last 35 years. Yet they predict diametrically opposite effects of genetic diversity on population density. Close relatives gain inclusive fitness advantages by preferentially associating with and behaving altruistically towards one another. However, heterogeneous...
