Sociality in cats: A comparative review (2016, background): “However, the connection between the hierarchy and cooperative behavior is often obscure (Cant, 2011; Smith et al., 2012) and differs from 1 species to another, presumably depending on the costs of defecting from the group or being driven out.”
The evolutionary anthropology of war (2017, background): “, cooperative hunting, territory defense, provisioning of young, and central place foraging (Smith et al., 2012)) or even more distant taxa, such as ants (war, farming, herding, and division of labor (Hölldobler and Wilson, 1990)).”
Origins and Evolution of Genus Homo (2012, background): “…a level of developmental plasticity similar to that seen in modern humans, which may help explain the long existence of this species; and (3) may have had greater behavioral plasticity, which would have favored their success over less versatile members of genus Homo (see Smith et al. 2012).”
