Social bonds predict future cooperation in male Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus (2011, background): “…partner preferences in affiliative interactions, are a widespread phenomenon in gregarious mammals (e.g. bats: Wilkinson 1985; dolphins: Connor et al. 2001; carnivores: de Villiers et al. 2003; ungulates: Wasilewski 2003; Cameron et al. 2009; primates: Mitani 2009) and birds (Emery et al. 2007).”
Divided we fail: the importance of social integration for the re‐introduction of endangered African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) (2006, methodology): “Following De Villiers et al. (1997), dominance was assessed according to the direction of dyadic social interactions.”
Coalitions in theory and reality: a review of pertinent variables and processes (2015, background): “Research on primate and non-primate mammals suggests that friendship facilitates coalition formation, first analysed as ‘familiarity dependent support’ by de Waal (1978) in chimpanzees.”
