Do chimpanzees reciprocate received favours (2008, background): “Although compelling theoretically, there is scarce experimental evidence for reciprocal altruism in nonhuman species (Hammerstein 2003; Stevens & Hauser 2004).”
Cooperation in primates and humans : mechanisms and evolution (2006, background): “Yet, the assumption that players are forced together for an unknown number of interactions may not hold (see Hammerstein 2003b for an extensive critique ).”
Chapter 2 Reciprocal Altruism in Primates (2009, background): “These difficulties led to a prevailing view that reciprocal altruism is less common than was originally thought, and indeed recent reviews (e.g., Hammerstein, 2003; Stevens and Hauser, 2004; Stevens et al., 2005b) have emphasized that reciprocal altruism is extremely rare among nonhuman animals.”
Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious (2007, unknown): “Hammerstein, 2003.”
The evolution of cooperation and altruism – a general framework and a classification of models (2006, background): “While direct reciprocity is certainly an important force underlying altruism in humans, its role in other organisms is highly debated and probably of low significance (Hammerstein, 2003; Stevens, 2004).”
The influence of kin relationship and reciprocal context on chimpanzees' other-regarding preferences (2010, unknown): “…in giving and receiving commodities and services, such as food, grooming, agonistic support and mating (de Waal 1997; Mitani & Watts 2001; Koyama et al. 2006; Duffy et al. 2007; Hockings et al. 2007; but see also criticisms: Hammerstein 2003; Stevens 2004; Stevens & Gilby 2004; Gilby 2006).”
Communication and collective action: language and the evolution of human cooperation (2010, background): “, & Hammerstein, P. (2001). Evolution of cooperation through”
Mechanisms of reciprocity in primates: testing for short-term contingency of grooming and food sharing in bonobos and chimpanzees (2013, background): “40 41 Nonetheless, such correlational evidence for reciprocal altruism has been questioned, 42 mainly on the basis of a lack of evidence for a short-term behavioral contingency between 43 services given and received (Clutton-Brock, 2009; Hammerstein, 2003).”
Social structure and co-operative interactions in a wild population of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) (2006, background): “Despite its theoretical appeal, evidence for co-operation based on reciprocity in wild animal populations has been conspicuously lacking from the literature (Hammerstein 2002), but see Trivers (2004) for notable exceptions.”
Cooperation experiments: coordination through communication versus acting apart together (2006, background): “Examples of naturally occurring cooperation restricted to two participants are rare (reviewed in Noë 1992; Bronstein 1998; Hoeksema & Bruna 2000; Wilkinson & Sherratt 2001; Ferrière et al. 2002; Simms & Taylor 2002; West et al. 2002; Bshary & Noë 2003; Hammerstein 2003; Sachs et al. 2004; Bshary & B”
