The passage around this formula
The same mark-recapture and genetic-sampling infrastructure that estimates is what field studies of adaptation and cooperation are built on. Heritable variation in a trait under selection — the beak-depth story above — requires knowing which individuals are related to which, which in turn requires either pedigree reconstruction from genetic markers or long-term…
