Kin association during brood care in a facultatively social bird: active discrimination or by-product of partner choice and demography?

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2012

Jaatinen Kim, Noreikiene Kristina, Merilä Juha, Ost Markus

Abstract excerpt

Intra-group relatedness does not necessarily imply kin selection, a leading explanation for social evolution. An overlooked mechanism for generating population genetic structure is variation in longevity and fecundity, referred to as individual quality, affecting kin structure and the potential for cooperation. Individual quality also affects choosiness in partner choice, a key process explaining cooperation...
