Experimental evidence that kin discrimination in the Seychelles warbler is based on association and not on genetic relatedness.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 May 2004

Komdeur Jan, Richardson David S, Burke Terry

Abstract excerpt

In cooperative breeding systems driven by kin selection, effective kin-recognition cues are important. Recognition could be achieved by the direct assessment of the genetic relatedness of individuals or by learning through association. In the Seychelles warbler, Acrocephalus sechellensis, female subordinates maximize indirect fitness by preferentially helping genetically related nestlings. Help seems to be based...
