Happy to help? A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of performing acts of kindness on the well-being of the actor (2018, neutral): “1 Surprisingly, few if any examples of such ‘ reciprocal altruism ’ have been found in non-human species (Amici et al., 2014; Clutton-Brock, 2009).”
Social competition and its consequences in female mammals (2013, background): “425 Eviction commonly exposes emigrants to substantial risks and can raise 426 cortisol levels and induce abortion in pregnant evictees (Young et al. 2006, Young 427 2009, Gilchrist 2006, Clutton-Brock 2009b).”
The evolution of food sharing in primates (2011, background): “…the two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive (Stevens and Gilby 2004; Gilby 2006), harassment is often assumed to be the more parsimonious explanation because it does not evoke delayed benefits but describes sharing as a mutualistic interaction (Stevens and Stephens 2002; Clutton-Brock 2009).”
Sixteen common misconceptions about the evolution of cooperation in humans (2011, background): “Even classical text book examples such as blood sharing in vampire bates (Wilkinson, 1984) can be explained more simply without the need for reciprocity by mechanisms such as by-product benefit (Clutton-Brock, 2009).”
The neuroscience of social decision-making. (2011, background): “…of chimpanzees and capuchin monkeys are noteworthy and should not be ), humans are remarkable in their degree of reliance on reciprocal altruism (Clutton-Brock 2009a), their upholding of fairness norms (including advantageous inequity aversion) (Brosnan 2009), and especially their tendency to…”
Strategies for cooperation in biological markets, especially for humans (2013, background): “Many individuals have qualities that allow them to provide benefits to partners through mere association or through mutualistic benefits (Clutton-Brock, 2009; Sachs et al., 2004).”
Do friends help each other? Patterns of female coalition formation in wild bonobos at Wamba (2016, background): “Since all females in the coalition gained bene ﬁ ts from forming coalitions, female coalitions might be formed for mutual individual bene ﬁ ts (or mutualism: Clutton-Brock, 2009).”
Reply to comments. Two Key Steps in the Evolution of Human Cooperation: The Interdependence Hypothesis (2012, background): “Indeed, several studies have provided experimental and correlational evidence for reciprocal exchange, albeit typically characterized by short delays and low costs (Clutton-Brock 2009).”
On the dynamics of social hierarchy: A longitudinal investigation of the rise and fall of prestige, dominance, and social rank in naturalistic task groups (2019, background): “The diminished potency of physical dominance, and increased reliance on manipulation (Clutton-Brock, 2009) and coercion through psychological fear (Henrich & Gil-White, 2001) has altered the manifestation of dominance relationships.”
Reciprocity and conditional cooperation between great tit parents (2014, neutral): “Although reciprocity is common in humans, evidence for it in animals is sparse and in some cases contentious (Wilkinson 1984; Stevens and Hauser 2004; Stevens et al. 2005; West et al. 2007; Krams et al. 2008; Clutton-Brock 2009; Schino and Aureli 2009; Cheney et al. 2010).”
Hunger games search: Visions, conception, implementation, deep analysis, perspectives, and towards performance shifts (2021, background): “Social animals often cooperate with each other during foraging, but the possibility that a few individuals do not participate in the collaboration is not excluded (Clutton-Brock, 2009).”
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 bonds predict future cooperation in male Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus (2011, background): “The evolutionary mechanisms proposed to maintain such bonding are kin selection, reciprocal altruism and mutualism (Clutton-Brock 2009).”
Origins and Evolution of Genus Homo (2012, background): “Cooperative behavior, defined here as behaviors that provide a benefit to another individual and may or may not have a cost to the actor, occurs widely in the natural world, yet the degree of cooperation between unrelated individuals is unique to humans (Clutton-Brock 2009; Melis and Semmann 2010).”
Effects of predation risk on foraging behaviour and group size: adaptations in a social cooperative species (2012, background): “…because of increased parasite transmission (Brown & Brown 1986), foraging competition (Milinski & Parker 1991) or probability of detection and attack by predators (Vine 1973; Lindström 1989; Cresswell 1994), it is also associated with numerous benefits (Krause & Ruxton 2002; Clutton-Brock 2009).”
Evolution and diversity of bark and Ambrosia beetles (2015, background): “The evolution of behavior is fundamentally based on maximizing the direct fitness of individuals (i.e., individuallevel selection; Alexander, 1974; Clutton-Brock, 2009).”
