Association patterns among wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) reflect sex differences in cooperation (2008, unknown): “At the individual level, males cooperate by grooming and sharing meat, actions which may serve to cement social bonds (Stanford 1998; Mitani and Watts 2001; Watts 2002; Mitani 2005; but see Gilby 2006).”
Do friends help each other? Patterns of female coalition formation in wild bonobos at Wamba (2016, background): “Males who are more frequently associated spatially and who groom each other are more likely to form coalitions (Hemelrijk & Ek, 1991; Nishida, 1983; Watts, 2002), and they support each other reciprocally (Mitani, 2006; de Waal & Brosnan, 2006; Watts, 2002).”
The development of contingent reciprocity in children (2013, background): “There is correlational evidence for reciprocity in grooming and food sharing amongwild chimpanzees (Mitani, 2006), and it is possible that reciprocity among chimpanzees is poorly captured by laboratory tasks like this one (see also Melis et al.”
Social bonds predict future cooperation in male Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus (2011, background): “Affiliation is based on reciprocal altruism if benefits for the actor are delayed, or mutualism if benefits inevitably accrue for both partners (e.g. Mitani 2006; Schülke et al. 2010).”
Economic Profitability of Social Predation Among Wild Chimpanzees: Individual Variation Promotes Cooperation (2008, background): “Chimpanzees have been reported to reciprocally exchange meat for grooming and coalitionary support in two communities (Mahale: Nishida et al. 1992; Ngogo: Mitani & Watts 2001; Mitani 2005).”
Do chimpanzees reciprocate received favours (2008, background): “Finally, observational studies of wild chimpanzees have reported that males reciprocally exchange grooming, coalitionary support and meat sharing even after association frequencies were controlled for (Mitani 2006).”
Chimpanzees coordinate in a negotiation game (2009, background): “Furthermore, although chimpanzees engage in reciprocal interactions in different contexts (e.g. Mitani, 2006 although see Gilby, 2006), possibly even involving some kind of mental scorekeeping (so-called calculated reciprocity, de Waal, 1997; de Waal & Brosnan, 2006; see Koyama, Caws, & Aureli,…”
Chimps of a feather sit together: chimpanzee friendships are based on homophily in personality (2014, background): “Friends frequently exchange grooming, coalitionary 315 support in conflicts and, in some populations, meat (captivity: Fraser et al., 2008; 316 Koski et al., 2011; wild: Mitani, 2006; Gomes & Boesch, 2011).”
The evolution of food sharing in primates (2011, background): “…a broad range of species is in line with more detailed, within-species analyses testing for the exchange of food with itself and various other services between individuals of the same population (e.g., de Waal 1989, 1997, 2000; Gilby 2006; Mitani 2006; Gomes and Boesch 2009; Jaeggi et al. 2010c).”
The ontogeny of human prosociality: behavioral experiments with children aged 3 to 8 (2012, background): “…2001), hunting small prey collaboratively (Boesch & Boesch, 1989) and sharing meat and other foods (Nishida & Turner, 1996; Mitani & Watts, 2001; Gilby, 2006), exchanging grooming for other valuable resources (de Waal, 1997b; Mitani, 2006, 2009), and cooperatively guarding mates (Watts, 1998).”
