Multiple paternity and kin recognition mechanisms in a guppy population.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2007

Hain Timothy J A, Neff Bryan D

Abstract excerpt

Help directed toward kin (nepotism) is an important example of social behaviour. Such helping behaviour requires a mechanism to distinguish kin from nonkin. The prevailing kin recognition hypothesis is that when familiarity is a reliable cue of relatedness, other mechanisms of recognition will not evolve. However, when familiarity is an unreliable cue of relatedness, kin recognition by phenotype matching is...
