The genetical theory of social behaviour.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 19 May 2014

Lehmann Laurent, Rousset François

Abstract excerpt

We survey the population genetic basis of social evolution, using a logically consistent set of arguments to cover a wide range of biological scenarios. We start by reconsidering Hamilton's (Hamilton 1964 J. Theoret. Biol. 7, 1-16 (doi:10.1016/0022-5193(64)90038-4)) results for selection on a social trait under the assumptions of additive gene action, weak selection and constant environment and demography. This...
