Cooperation among animals : an evolutionary perspective /

This study outlines four different categories of co-operation among animals - reciprocal altruism, kinship, group-selected co-operation, and by-product mutualism - and ties them together in a single framework. Studies on co-operation in insects, fish, birds and mammals are then reviewed.
