This paper presents some concepts about the kinship and introduces five possible mechanisms to result in kin-biased behavior, including spatial or temporal distribution, familiarity, phenotype matching, recognition alleles and green-beard effect. In rodents, kinship has very important effect on social behavior, and kin-biased behaviors occur in competition, cooperation, mating and parental care. The research on mechanisms will be benefit for understanding the origin and evolution of kin-biased behavior.
