AbstractThe mean relatedness of an individual to others in its social group may change with age. Such kinship dynamics, which are expected to influence sex- and age-specific social behaviours, are sensitive to demography. Existing models of kinship dynamics, however, have focused chiefly on the influences of population-level demographic parameters (e.g., sex-specific dispersal rate and mating pattern).
