Evolution of Behavior
Axelrod R, Hamilton WD 1981 The evolution of cooperation. Science 211, 1390-1396. Classic paper on the subject.
Pool, R 1995 Putting game theory to the test. Science 267, 1591-1593. Going from sociobiological theory to actual field data.
Morrell V 1996 Genes versus teams: Weighing group tactics in evolution. Science 273, 739. A consideration of the contemporary version of group selection.
Kerr B et al., 2002 Local dispersal promotes biodiversity in a real-life game of rock-paper-scissors. Nature 418 171. This shows game theory being played out in an unlikely species. Just read the abstract.
Semmann D et al., 2003 Volunteering leads to rock-paper-scissors dynamics in a public goods game. Nature 425 390. If you’re really into game theory stuff, this paper shows the rock-paper-scissors in humans. It’s pretty thick going thought, so not for the rookie (i.e., not required).
Final two are non-technical pieces:
Pennisi E 2009 On the origin of cooperation. Science 325 1196.
Pennisi E 2008 Deciphering the genetics of evolution. Science 321, 760.

Molecular Genetics
Kerr 1995 Did Darwin get it all right? Science 267, 1421. Related to Gould’s notions of punctuated equilibrium.
Sapolsky 1999 The war between men and women. Discover, May, 56. This is an overview of imprinted and intersexual gene competition.
Gilad Y et al., Expression profiling in primates reveals a rapid evolution of human transcription factors. 2006 Nature 440, 242. Read the abstract only. This supports the idea that changes in non-coding regions of DNA are more of a driving force of evolution than are changes in genes themselves, and that this is particularly pertinent to humans and chimps separating evolutionarily.
Behavioral Genetics
Francis et al., 1999 Nongenomic transmission across generations of maternal behavior and stress responses in the rat. Science 286, 1155. A striking example of non-Mendelian transmission. Abstract only.

Schwabl et al., 1997 A hormonal mechanism for parental favouritism. Nature 386, 231. Another non-genetic phenomenon that could be mistaken for one. Abstract only.
Krieger M, Ross K 2002 Identification of a major gene regulating complex social behavior. Science 295 328. Just to show that sometimes, single genes can regulate behavior in a significant way. Abstract only.
Francis D et al., 2003 Epigenetic sources of behavioral differences in mice. Nat Neurosci 6, 445. Another version of some behaviors that seem to be genetically-controlled until you carry out some more subtle tests.’
Diek D 2007 Identification of genes influencing a spectrum of externalizing psychopathology. Curr Direction Psych Sci 16, 331.
Rodrigues S, Saslow L, Garcia N, John O, Keltner D 2009 Oxytocin receptor genetic variation relates to empathy and stress reactivity in humans. Proc Nat Acad Sci USA 106, 21437.
Recognizing Relatives
Shingo T et al., 2003 Pregnancy-stimulated neurogenesis in the adult female forebrain mediated by prolactin. Science 299 117. Abstract only.
Buchan et al., 2003 True paternal care in a multi-male primate society. Nature 425 179. Evidence of primates using a cognitive strategy to detect relatives.
Fisher H, Hoekstra H 2010 Competition drives cooperation among closely related sperm of deer mice. Nature 463, 801. Just read the abstract. This is a nice demonstration of a case of inclusive fitness competition among sperm, and sperm competition between males. Note that this requires sperm to recognize related sperm.
Ethology
Hare B et al., 2002 The domestication of social cognition in dogs. Science 298 1634. A demonstration of how humans have bred certain FAPs into domesticated dogs.
Sherman G, Visscher P 2002 Honey bee colonies achieve fitness through dancing. Nature 419, 920. A great demonstration of how ethologists go about testing the usefulness of some observed behavior; also has the greatest title I’ve ever seen in a paper.
Ghazanfar A, Santos L 2004 Primate brains in the wild: The sensory bases for social interactions. Nature Review Neuroscience 5, 603.

Neuroscience and Endocrinology
If you need a background in these subjects, besides going to the extra lectures, read chapters concerning the autonomic nervous system, the hypothalamus and hormones in one of these books on reserve in Falconer library:
Rosenzweig et al., 1998 Biological Psychology. Sinaur.
Kandel E, Schwartz J, Jessell T 2000 Principles of Neural Science.
The first book is much easier and is at a perfectly adequate level for the class.
