Relatedness and inclusive fitness with inbreeding

Theor Popul Biol. 1992 Dec;42(3):284-307. doi: 10.1016/0040-5809(92)90016-m.

Abstract

Relatedness arising in kin selection theory is measured by a variable taking as values two pedigree indices in populations with inbreeding when selection is weak. This variable reduces to a single pedigree index when inbreeding is caused by partial selfing or partial sib-mating. General inclusive fitness formulations of kin selection models based on such a variable of relatedness are proposed.
