• Do chimpanzees reciprocate received favours (2008, methodology): “Rutte & Taborsky (2008) reported experimental evidence for direct reciprocity in rats, Rattus norvegicus, using an experimental design Table 3. Number (percentage) of trials in which subjects released the chain, in the absence of a partner (control: maximum number of trials was 4) and in the presen”
• Grooming for tolerance? Two mechanisms of exchange in wild tufted capuchin monkeys (2011, background): “Here, the best support comes from a few studies where altruistic behavior was under the control of the experimenter, and the likelihood of reciprocation was measured (e.g., Hemelrijk 1994; Olendorf et al. 2004; Rutte and Taborsky 2008).”
• The Evolution of Social Behaviour (2021, background): “…co- operators or defectors (Rutte & Taborsky, 2008), these authors showed that rats can also reciprocate by a much simpler rule: In generalized reciprocity, help is triggered by receiving help by any other individual, a mechanism requiring minimal cognitive capacity (Rutte & Taborsky, 2007).”
