Greetings promote cooperation and reinforce social bonds among spotted hyaenas (2011, background): “…in social bond maintenance is well documented among primates living in cohesive groups (e.g. Matheson & Bernstein 2000; Lazaro-Perea et al. 2004; Silk et al. 2006; Gomes et al. 2009), especially when the value of social partners changes dynamically with time and circumstances (e.g. Barrett et…”
The social network structure of a dynamic group of dairy cows:from individual to group level patterns (2016, background): “There is also evidence of assortment by kin in some animal societies (Silk et al., 2006; Ward and Hart, 2003; Wiszniewski et al., 2010).”
Association patterns among wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) reflect sex differences in cooperation (2008, unknown): “This method of combining association indices is similar to the way in which Alberts (1999) and Silk et al. (2006b) classified social bonds in wild baboons.”
Sociality of the dispersing sex: The nature of social bonds in West African female chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes (2009, unknown): “If these dyadic preferences persisted for at least 3 of 4 consecutive years (see also Silk et al. 2006b) we termed such dyads long-term association partners.”
Vocal alliances in Chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus) (2007, background): “Although individuals from different matrilines may share paternal kinship (Alberts 1999; Widdig et al. 2001, 2002; Smith et al. 2003), paternal kin in baboons tend to be very close in age (Silk et al. 2006a).”
Message ‘scent’: lemurs detect the genetic relatedness and quality of conspecifics via olfactory cues (2010, background): “Nepotism between unfamiliar relatives has been demonstrated in several anthropoid primate species (Widdig et al. 2001; Silk et al. 2006a, b; Charpentier et al. 2007; reviewed in Widdig 2007).”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “Second, the social lives of female baboons revolve around a tight core of close associates (Silk et al. 1999; Silk et al. 2006a,b).”
Mate competition, testosterone and intersexual relationships in bonobos, Pan paniscus (2012, methodology): “Quality of social relations We used rates of grooming events betweenmales and unrelated females as a measure for the strength of social bonds as this is generally considered to be a meaningful measure of social relationships in nonhuman primates (Cords 1997; Silk et al. 2006).”
The ‘strength of weak ties’ among female baboons: fitness-related benefits of social bonds (2017, unknown): “215 216 group, female chacma baboons invested in a broad network of weaker social bonds, with only 230 a few dyads displaying especially strong social relationships; a finding also reported in 231 yellow baboons (Silk et al. 2006).”
Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, background): “In several long-lived social species, age has also been identified as a predictor of sociality, hierarchical rank and/or structure of associations (Hauser & Tyrrell 1984; McComb et al. 2001; Widdig et al. 2001; Corr 2003; Silk et al. 2006b; Evans & Harris 2008; Fraser et al. 2008).”
Kin-biased social behaviour in wild adult female white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus (2008, background): “The demographic pattern for capuchins at Lomas Barbudal contrasts with that reported by Silk et al. (2006) for female savannah baboons, Papio cynocephalus, which average between one and two available female primary kin, and which are almost never co-resident with full sisters (J. B. Silk, personal…”
Organization of Group Members at Departure Is Driven by Social Structure in Macaca (2008, background): “Hinde (1975), Prins (1989), Reinhardt (1983), Silk et al. (2006), and Smolker (2000) described direct joining between relatives, especially between mothers and offspring, in many species, and it could relate to parental care function (Hamilton 1964).”
Strong and consistent social bonds enhance the longevity of female baboons. (2010, background): “Savannah baboons form strong, equitable, and enduring relationships with specific female partners, particularly with close relatives and agemates [7–10].”
