Play behaviour in nonhuman animals and the animal welfare issue (2009, background): “Some studies speculate that play behaviour arises from intrauterine movements (Hamburger 1963; Oppenheim 1974; Bekoff 1984), but neonatal mammals play less than youths do, and youths play more than adults, i.e.”
Social network theory: new insights and issues for behavioral ecologists (2009, background): “…between SNS associated with different aspects of cooperation (grooming, conflict coalitions, cooperative foraging, resource sharing, or cooperative vigilance; de Waal 1997; Palagi et al. 2004; Gilby 2006; Schino 2007) and between cooperative social networks and mating networks (Palagi et al. 2006).”
Social play in captive wolves (Canis lupus): not only an immature affair (2009, background): “…1981; Martin & Caro, 1985; Dolhinow, 1999), improving fighting abilities, achieving social assessment (Thompson, 1998; Pellis & Iwaniuk, 1999b, 2000), training for the unexpected (Špinka et al., 2001), limiting aggression, and increasing tolerance around food (Palagi et al., 2004, 2006, 2007).”
Social tolerance and adult play in macaque societies: a comparison with different human cultures (2012, background): “In fact, play serves to test the strength of interindividual social bonds and cooperation (geladas, Theropithecus gelada: Mancini & Palagi 2009; chimpanzees: Palagi et al. 2004).”
The Function of Play in the Development of the Social Brain. (2010, background): “One such benefit of adult play, especially socially, has been its use in assessing and manipulating social partners (e.g., Palagi 2006; Palagi et al. 2004; Pellis 2002a; Pellis and Iwaniuk 2000).”
Short-Term Benefits of Play Behavior and Conflict Prevention in Pan paniscus (2006, unknown): “Also in chimpanzees, Palagi et al. (2004) found that play peaked in the prefeeding period both in adult-immature dyads and immature-immature dyads.”
