Grooming and agonistic support: a meta-analysis of primate reciprocal altruism (2007, background): “Nevertheless, both grooming and agonistic support are also directed to unrelated animals, raising the possibility of a role for reciprocal altruism in their evolution (for reviews, see Chapais 2001; Silk 2002).”
Kin-biased social behaviour in wild adult female white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus (2008, background): “All rights reserved. with kinship distance, it may be difficult to determine the relative effects on social relationships of (1) competition for access to higher-ranking social partners (Seyfarth 1977) and (2) nepotism (Chapais 2001; see also de Waal 1991; Kapsalis & Berman 1996a).”
Social Behavior, Reproductive Strategies, and Population Genetic Structure of Lagothrix poeppigii (2005, background): “, 2001), there may be important implications for the patterning of intra-group social behavior and for the expression of various forms of reproductive competition (Wrangham, 1980; Silk, 1987, 2002; Chapais, 2001).”
Cooperative breeding and its significance to the demographic success of humans. (2010, background): “…helpers are often related to the young they help, this relationship does not necessarily explain why they provide support. www.annualreviews.org • Cooperative Breeding 425 Kin selection as the explanation for cooperative breeding has been reexamined from two perspectives (Chapais 2001, 2006).”
Patterns of coalition formation by adult female baboons in Amboseli, Kenya (2004, background): “In primate groups, support is typicallynepotistic, but is not completely limited to kin (Chapais 2001; Silk 2002).”
Reciprocal altruism, rather than kin selection, maintains nepotistic food transfers on an Ache reservation (2008, unknown): “Primatologists have also recently begun to question whether direct fitness benefits, rather than indirect fitness benefits, are responsible for some nepotistic interactions in non-human primate societies (Chapais 2001).”
Close social associations in animals and humans : functions and mechanisms of friendship (2010, background): “Both measures are easily obtained due to their relatively high frequency of occurrence and do, for example, also reflect kin relations (Chapais, 2001).”
Home range overlap, matrilineal and biparental kinship drive female associations in bottlenose dolphins (2010, background): “1990; Seger 1991; Bourke 1997) to long-lived mammals such as primates (Chapais 2001; Clutton-Brock 2002; Perry et al. 2008; Langergraber et al. 2009), lions, Panthera leo (Packer et al.”
RECIPROCITY AND INTERCHANGE IN THE SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS OF WILD MALE CHIMPANZEES (2002, unknown): “Formation of low-risk coalitions in which all participants stand to make immediate net gains is widespread in primates and may even incorporate much presumed ‘altruism’ among kin (Chapais, 2001).”
Social competition and its consequences in female mammals (2013, background): “704 Experiments with Japanese macaques show that sisters, grandmothers and great-705 grandmothers are able to influence rank acquisition by immature females, while 706 aunts, grand-aunts and cousins rarely do so (Chapais 2001, Chapais 2004).”
Chimps of a feather sit together: chimpanzee friendships are based on homophily in personality (2014, methodology): “Maternal relatedness was based on 220 Wright's (1922) coefficient of relatedness r, ranging between 0.125 and 0.5 (Hamilton 222 1964; Chapais 2001; Silk 2002).”
Vocal alliances in Chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus) (2007, background): “Kin support each other at significantly higher rates than non-kin, and when forming alliances with non-kin, females tend to support the higher-ranking of the two opponents (reviewed by Cheney and Seyfarth 1990; Chapais 2001; Silk 2002a).”
