Disentangling the Correlated Evolution of Monogamy and Cooperation.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Jul 2016

Dillard Jacqueline R, Westneat David F

Abstract excerpt

Lifetime genetic monogamy, by increasing sibling relatedness, has been proposed as an important causal factor in the evolution of altruism. Monogamy, however, could influence the subsequent evolution of cooperation in other ways. We present several alternative, non-mutually exclusive, evolutionary processes that could explain the correlated evolution of monogamy and cooperation. Our analysis of these...
