Why helping others? The role of direct fitness benefits within the social-networks in cooperatively breeding azure-winged magpies (Helping in Cyanopica)

Date du début: 1 mai 2015, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2017,

"Current literature on the evolution of cooperation agrees that kin selection cannot explain the benefits accrued by cooperators in many systems. One main gap is the type of direct benefits that helpers obtain in cooperative breeding systems and how they are ESS provided that natural selection favours defectors over cooperators in unstructured populations. Recent advances show that "social viscosi ...
