Experimental evidence for helper effects in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2005, background): “Pay-to-stay and group augmentation both can explain the existence of unrelated helpers ( Kokko et al., 2001, 2002 ), which is an intriguing characteristic of this social system.”
Size differences within a dominance hierarchy influence conflict and help in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2005, background): “It plays a key role in concessional, restraint and tug-of-war models of reproductive skew (reviewed in Johnstone, 2000) and aggression (Cant & Johnstone, 2000; Reeve, 2000), pay-to-stay explanations for helping (Kokko et al., 2002; Hamilton & Taborsky, 2005), self-restraint in growth or reproduction”
Extended safe havens and between-group dispersal of helpers in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2005, background): “For instance, transactional models of dominantsubordinate interactions (Johnstone, 2000; Kokko et al., 2002; Hamilton & Taborsky, 2005), developed to explain partitioning of reproduction, subordinate dispersal, and helping behaviour, might need adjustments to account for strategic subordinate…”
A genetic analysis of breeding success in the cooperative meerkat (Suricata suricatta) (2003, background): “... an obvious question is why don’t all males disperse when they reach maturity? In meerkats, subordinate philopatric males (1) gain direct fitness benefits by living in a group in which their survival rate is greater until they are older and experienced enough to successfully immigrate into a new ”
Network structure is related to social conflict in a cooperatively breeding fish (2013, unknown): “1978; Kokko et al. 2002).”
Experimental manipulation of helping in a cooperative breeder: helpers ‘pay to stay’ by pre-emptive appeasement (2005, background): “Although solutions to the question of when punishment should occur have been modelled recently (Kokko et al. 2002; Hamilton 2004), empirical studies addressing this issue in animal societies are scarce (Clutton-Brock & Parker 1995; but see Fehr & Gächter 2002 for an example in humans).”
Variation in Individual Investment Strategies among Social Animals (2006, background): “…& Johnstone 1997; Mock & Parker 1997; Wright & Leonard 2002), and within-group conflict (e.g. whether dominant breeders can make subordinates to ‘pay-to-stay’ for continued group membership, Gaston 1978; Taborsky 1984, 1985; Mulder & Langmore 1993; Kokko et al. 2002; Bergmüller & Taborsky 2005).”
The role of food- and object-sharing in the development of social bonds in juvenile jackdaws (Corvus monedula). (2007, background): “The return benefits 74 for helpers in such co-operative breeders range from ‘paying to stay’ (Mulder & Langmore, 75 1993; Kokko et al. 2002), to gaining breeding experience (Emlen; 1991) to increasing social 76 status (Zahavi, 1990) or raising the likelihood of attaining breeding status in a…”
Sex differences in rates of territory joining and inheritance in a cooperatively breeding cichlid fish (2006, background): “Therefore, we predicted that, following a replacement event, the helping behaviour of individuals remaining in the group would be altered (Hamilton 1964; Kokko et al. 2002).”
Ecology and Evolution of Cooperative Breeding in Birds: Fitness consequences of helping (2004, background): “It is also possible that helpers gain nothing from helping per se, but simply help in exchange for the direct benefits they gain from being allowed to stay on the natal territory, an hypothesis that has been termed “pay to stay” (Mulder and Langmore 1993, Kokko et al. 2002 ).”
Sharing of caring: nestling provisioning behaviour of long-tailed tit, Aegithalos caudatus, parents and helpers (2003, background): “In such situations, helpers may simply provision nestlings to be allowed to remain in the group, a behaviour that has been called ‘payment of rent’ (Gaston 1978) and ‘pay to stay’ (Mulder & Langmore 1993; Kokko et al. 2002).”
