Size differences within a dominance hierarchy influence conflict and help in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2005, background): “…1993; Roberts 1996), increased foraging efficiency (e.g., Pitcher et al., 1982; Packer & Ruttan, 1988), decreased costs of defence against intruders (Strassman et al., 1988) and, in cooperatively breeding species, increased help raising offspring (e.g., Taborsky 1984; Koenig & Dickinson 2004).”
Conflict and Cooperation in Wild Chimpanzees (2005, background): “U N C O R R E C T E D P R O O F Well‐known examples include sterile castes of eusocial insects and cooperatively breeding birds and mammals (Koenig and Dickinson, 2004; Solomon and French, 1997; Wilson, 1971).”
Dear enemies or nasty neighbors? Causes and consequences of variation in the responses of group-living species to territorial intrusions (2018, background): “…usually found alone (Brown 1969)—as an additional category of outside threat; while floaters occur in many group-territorial species (see, for example, species accounts in Koenig and Dickinson 2004), there has been little investigation of relative responses to them versus neighbors and strangers.”
A simple method for distinguishing within- versus between-subject effects using mixed models (2009, background): “The biological relevance of this problem is illustrated by the following example from the classic question in cooperative breeding of whether genetic relatedness affects helping behaviour (see Brown 1987; Cockburn 1998; Koenig & Dickinson 2004).”
Why do birds participate in mixed-species foraging flocks? A large-scale synthesis (2009, methodology): “Cooperatively breeding birds live in kin groups and are likely to have well-developed intraspecific communication and alarm call systems (Koenig & Dickinson 2004).”
Variation in Individual Investment Strategies among Social Animals (2006, background): “Alloparents may accrue indirect fitness benefits through the increased survival and productivity of their relatives (for reviews, see Brown 1987; Emlen 1991; Cockburn 1998; Clutton-Brock 2002; Roulin 2002; Koenig & Dickinson 2004).”
Large group size yields group stability in the cooperatively breeding cichlid Neolamprologus pulcher (2005, background): “Previous work has concentrated on the benefits of philopatry and ecological constraints hypotheses explaining subordinate delayed dispersal (see review in Koenig & Dickinson, 2004).”
