Kin recognition protects cooperators against cheaters.

Current biology : CB - 19 Aug 2013

Ho Hsing-I, Hirose Shigenori, Kuspa Adam, Shaulsky Gad

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of sociality and altruism is enigmatic because cooperators are constantly threatened by cheaters who benefit from cooperation without incurring its full cost [1, 2]. Kin recognition is the ability to recognize and cooperate with genetically close relatives. It has also been proposed as a potential mechanism that limits cheating [3, 4], but there has been no direct experimental support for that...
