Chimpanzees coordinate in a negotiation game (2009, methodology): “The cooperation apparatus and set up was highly similar to previous experiments (Hare et al., 2007; Melis et al., 2006a, 2006b, 2008) with the exception that we used two cooperation trays instead of just one.”
Reciprocal Altruism in Primates: Partner Choice, Cognition, and Emotions (2009, background): “We have argued elsewhere (Schino et al., 2007, 2009b; see also Aureli and Schaffner, 2002; Melis et al., 2008; Romero and Aureli, 2008; van Hooff, 2001) that reciprocity and partner choice could be maintained by a system of emotionally based bookkeeping that allows the long‐term tracking of reciproc”
Chimpanzee helping in collaborative and noncollaborative contexts (2010, background): “…either humans or conspecifics by: fetching out-ofreach objects for them (Warneken & Tomasello 2006); opening doors for them (Warneken et al. 2007;Melis et al. 2008); unhooking hooks to release food for them (Melis et al. 2008, unpublished data); bringing a needed tool to them (Yamamoto et al.…”
Chapter 2 Reciprocal Altruism in Primates (2009, background): “Melis et al. (2008) came to a similar conclusion on the basis of an elegant series of experiments aimed at testing whether chimpanzees reciprocate received favors.”
The influence of kin relationship and reciprocal context on chimpanzees' other-regarding preferences (2010, unknown): “Although Melis et al. (2008) found that chimpanzees in a mutually beneficial cooperation task chose a partner who had previously behaved favourably towards them, the evidence for reciprocity was very weak, and again we cannot tell whether chimpanzees’ other-regarding sentiments prompted their…”
The development of contingent reciprocity in children (2013, background): “There is correlational evidence for reciprocity in grooming and food sharing amongwild chimpanzees (Mitani, 2006), and it is possible that reciprocity among chimpanzees is poorly captured by laboratory tasks like this one (see also Melis et al., 2008).”
Mechanisms of reciprocity in primates: testing for short-term contingency of grooming and food sharing in bonobos and chimpanzees (2013, background): “…of short-term contingencies, as such a strategy might be expected more in 88 the explicit turn-taking situations of controlled experiments, at least in cognitively advanced 89 species such as great apes (Brosnan et al., 2009; Dufour et al., 2009; Melis et al., 2008; 90 Yamamoto & Tanaka, 2009).”
