Abstract. Kin selection theory predicts that individuals should evolve to help relatives, either by helping indiscriminately in a population where they do

Abstract. Cellular division of labour is closely associated with the emergence of organismality in the evolution of obligate multicellularity. Michod has s

About 10 in 100 people are left-handed, but why? A new article highlights the crucial role of early brain development for left-handedness.

Handedness (i.e., the preference to use either the left or the right hand for fine motor tasks) is a widely investigated trait. Handedness heritabilit…

We develop a mathematical model to investigate how kin selection shapes the optimal timing of metamorphosis. We consider the full range of larval competition intensities and the full range of related...
