Kin selection theory predicts that closely related animals                 will exhibit more cooperation than will more distantly related                  animals of the same species.  This project will investigate                     whether red-backed salamanders, a common inhabitant of forests                  in eastern North America, conform to the predictions of kin                     selection theory.  Molecular genetic technology ("DNA                           fingerprinting") will be used to determine the genetic                          relationships of individuals tested.  This project represents an                exciting application of molecular genetic techniques to                         ecological questions.  The interdisciplinary approach holds                     strong promise for advancing science both empirically and                       theoretically.
