Extended safe havens and between-group dispersal of helpers in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2005, background): “Between group migration of subordinates is also known from many mammals (Rood, 1987; Solomon & French, 1997), and invertebrates (Field et al., 1999).”
Parent–offspring resource allocation in domestic pigs (2007, background): “Once within the group, lactating sows will often tolerate the suckling of offspring that are not their own (Eisenberg and Lockhart 1972; Newberry and Wood-Gush 1985); thus, pigs are one of many mammalian species that provide some degree of care to non-descendant young (see for example, Jennions and”
Family insurance: kin selection and cooperative breeding in a solitary primate (Microcebus murinus) (2006, background): “Most studies on cooperative breeding in mammals have focused on singular breeders where only a single female reproduces and where individuals that engage in care of foreign offspring are nonbreeding helpers (Solomon and French 1997; Koenig and Dickinson 2004).”
Behavioral processes and costs of co-existence in female spotted hyenas: a life history perspective (2003, background): “The fitness benefits that drive the evolution of cooperative behavior and sociality have been subject to numerous investigations and reviews (e.g. Bourke, 1997; Dugatkin, 1997; Emlen, 1997; Solomon and French, 1997).”
Large group size yields group stability in the cooperatively breeding cichlid Neolamprologus pulcher (2005, background): “…1993; Hill & Dunbar, 1998; Janson, 1998; Clutton-Brock et al., 1999a; Rogovin et al., 2004), sharing in parental duties (Choe & Crespi, 1997; Solomon & French, 1997; Koenig & Dickinson, 2004), and shared vigilance, leaving more time for feeding (e.g., Hailman et al., 1994; Clutton-Brock et…”
Cooperative breeding and its significance to the demographic success of humans. (2010, background): “Definition of the term cooperative breeding has undergone recent debate and reconsideration (Clutton-Brock 2006, Cockburn 1998, Russell 2004, Strassman & Kurapati 2010).”
Reproductive promiscuity in the splendid fairy-wren: effects of group size and auxiliary reproduction (2004, neutral): “In many cases, auxiliaries are offspring (or close kin) of the breeding pair that are constrained from independent breeding by ecological and/or social factors (reviewed in Emlen, 1991, 1997; Jennions and MacDonald, 1994).”
Territory and group sizes in Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber): echoes of settlement and reproduction? (2005, background): “…such as reproductive suppression, intra-group competition and alloparenting, but the very presence of additional group members will have implications for resource depletion and defence (Jennions and Macdonald 1994; Clutton-Brock et al. 1998a, 1999; Baker et al. 2000; Chapman and Chapman 2000).”
Aggression and submission reflect reproductive conflict between females in cooperatively breeding meerkats Suricata suricatta (2006, background): “The frequency of within-group aggression is generally low in cooperatively breeding vertebrates during periods when group membership is stable (Rasa 1987; Stacey and Koenig 1990; Solomon and French 1997; Schaffner and Caine 2000; Bennett and Faulkes 2000), but frequent aggression”
Cooperating to compete: altruism, sexual selection and causes of male reproductive cooperation (2014, neutral): “These males are not helpers in the cooperative breeding sense (nonbreeding members, usually from previous brood: Cockburn, 1998; Skutch, 1935; Solomon & French, 1997), but instead are co-breeders (Dickinson, 2004) that may or may not have a social relationship with breeding females (i.e. a pair…”
Hamilton's legacy: kinship, cooperation and social tolerance in mammalian groups (2014, neutral): “…1998; Strassmann, Page, Robinson, & Seeley, 2011), birds (e.g. Cockburn, 1998; Emlen, 1984; Griffin & West, 2003; Stacey & Koenig, 1990) and mammals (e.g. Clutton-Brock, 2002; Creel & Creel, 1991; Jennions & Macdonald, 1994; Smith, Swanson, Reed, & Holekamp, 2012; Solomon & French, 1997).”
Sixteen common misconceptions about the evolution of cooperation in humans (2011, background): “…that our self-regarding preferences (broadly matching the predictions of classical rational choice theory) are explained by biological individualist selection while population-level (principally cultural) evolutionary processes explain why we have pro-social preferences (e.g., Shennan, 2002).”
