Abstract excerpt
Kin selection models describe fitness determining interactions that occur within small clusters of individuals often referred to as trait groups (Wilson, 1975). Because each individual influences not only its own fitness, but also the fitness of other members of the trait group, kin selection has both inter- and intra-group components (Hamilton, 1975; Wade, 1980). The importance of intergroup selection depends on...
