Quantitative genetic versions of Hamilton's rule with empirical applications.

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

Abstract excerpt

Hamilton's theory of inclusive fitness revolutionized our understanding of the evolution of social interactions. Surprisingly, an incorporation of Hamilton's perspective into the quantitative genetic theory of phenotypic evolution has been slow, despite the popularity of quantitative genetics in evolutionary studies. Here, we discuss several versions of Hamilton's rule for social evolution from a quantitative...
