A theory of mate choice based on heterozygosity
TLDR
A review of genetic studies of mate choice in a variety of species and situations suggests that individual heterozygosity is more important than previously realized.

Avian Communal Breeding Systems
TLDR
Avian communal breeding systems feature precisely that phenomenon that seems most likely to require kin selection as a part of its evolutionary explanation, namely, the presence of a form of operational altruism known as helping behavior.

Alternate Routes to Sociality in Jays—With a Theory for the Evolution of Altruism and Communal Breeding
TLDR
Three principal origins of communality and altruism in birds are identified: from colonies, from a surplus of males, and by retention of young in the family, the latter being of greatest importance.

The Buffer Effect and Productivity in Tit Populations
TLDR
The present considerations of "optimum mix" and "exchange ratio" suggest an alternative interpretation, namely, that productivity in the Great Tit, at least, is not limited by territorial behavior, but actually might be maximized by it.

Kin Recognition and the Major Histocompatibility Complex: An Integrative Review
TLDR
This review integrates recent advances in these fields around the central theme of kin recognition, showing how behavior, disease, and molecular genetics can be integrated in a context of evolution and natural selection.
