Domain-specific¶
- Hamilton's Rule
- Paul Sherman's field work on alarm calling in Belding's ground squirrels, which showed that calling was performed preferentially by females with close relatives living nearby and less often by animals without living kin within earshot, is a canonical empirical test
This sourceField observations that Belding's ground squirrel alarm calls come disproportionately from females and from individuals with relatives living within earshot. Alarm calls given disproportionately by philopatric females rather than dispersing males, and by females with living mothers or sisters as well as offspring.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
