How effective is recognition of siblings on the basis of genotype?

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2009

Paterson S, Hurst J L

Abstract excerpt

The ability to recognize kin based on genetic markers has been widely proposed as a mechanism to facilitate altruistic behaviour and inbreeding avoidance. Siblings are an important group of relatives to discriminate from unrelated individuals but present a problem, because siblings can share 0, 1 or 2 alleles at any single recognition locus. Here, we present a Bayesian model of kin recognition that defines the...
