Conspecific brood parasitism in common eiders (somateria mollissima): do brood parasites target safe nest sites?
TL;DR: Nest-site safety did not explain patterns of CBP among habitats, given that nests in dense woody vegetation had the highest probability of survival yet had the lowest frequency of CBPs, and explanations are proposed for why this data did not support the risk assessment hypothesis.
Intraspecific nest parasitism in Red-breasted Mergansers
Andrew D. Young,Rodger D. Titman +1 more
TL;DR: This study studied intraspecific nest parasitism in an island nesting population of Red-breasted Mergansers in New Brunswick and found that a greater percentage of eggs hatched from parasitized nests during the peak nesting period than from normal nests.

Low host recognition tendency revealed by experimentally induced parasitic egg laying in the common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula)
TL;DR: A field experiment was performed to address the accuracy of host recognition by parasites in the common goldeneye, a cavity-nesting duck, and found that Parasitic egg laying in the experimental nests was not constrained by the lack of contemporarily available nests that had a host.

The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour. I
TL;DR: A genetical mathematical model is described which allows for interactions between relatives on one another's fitness and a quantity is found which incorporates the maximizing property of Darwinian fitness, named “inclusive fitness”.

The spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian paradigm: a critique of the adaptationist programme
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors criticise the adaptationist program for its inability to distinguish current utility from reasons for origin (male tyrannosaurs may have used their diminutive front legs to titillate female partners, but this will not explain why they got so small).

TL;DR: The adaptationist programme is faulted for its failure to distinguish current utility from reasons for origin, and Darwin’s own pluralistic approach to identifying the agents of evolutionary change is supported.

Mating systems, philopatry and dispersal in birds and mammals
TL;DR: It is argued that the direction of the sex bias is a consequence of the type of mating system, and Philopatry will favour the evolution of cooperative traits between members of the sedentary sex.
