Integrating cooperative breeding into theoretical concepts of cooperation
- R. Bergmüller, R. Johnstone, A. Russell, R. Bshary
- Psychology, Medicine
- Behavioural Processes
- 1 October 2007
In cooperative breeding systems, some individuals help to raise offspring that are not their own. While early explanations for such altruistic behaviour were predominantly based on kin selection,… Expand
Hormonal mechanisms of cooperative behaviour
- M. Soares, R. Bshary, +4 authors R. F. Oliveira
- Psychology, Medicine
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B…
- 12 September 2010
Research on the diversity, evolution and stability of cooperative behaviour has generated a considerable body of work. As concepts simplify the real world, theoretical solutions are typically also… Expand
Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality
Arising from M. A. Nowak, C. E. Tarnita & E. O. Wilson 466, 1057–1062 (2010)10.1038/nature09205; Nowak et al. replyNowak et al. argue that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in… Expand
Red colobus and Diana monkeys provide mutual protection against predators
We tested the hypothesis that red colobus monkeys, Procolobus badius and Diana monkeys, Cercopithecus diana in Taï National Park, Ivory Coast, associate to increase safety from predation. We recorded… Expand
The Predator Deterrence Function of Primate Alarm Calls
- K. Zuberbühler, D. Jenny, R. Bshary
- Biology
- 1 June 1999
It is generally assumed that alarm calls function in intraspecific communication, for example to warn close relatives about the presence of a predator. However, an alternative hypothesis suggests… Expand
Cognitive abilities related to tool use in the woodpecker finch, Cactospiza pallida
- S. Tebbich, R. Bshary
- Biology
- Animal Behaviour
- 1 April 2004
Woodpecker finches are famous for their spontaneous tool use behaviour in the wild. They use twigs or cactus spines to pry arthropods out of crevices and use this ability more than any other… Expand
The cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus, is a key organism for reef fish diversity at Ras Mohammed National Park, Egypt
- R. Bshary
- Biology
- 2003
Summary
1
In marine cleaning symbioses, small fish or shrimps remove ectoparasites and other material from cooperating ‘client’ fish. Until now, there has been conflicting evidence with respect… Expand
Asymmetric cheating opportunities and partner control in a cleaner fish mutualism
- R. Bshary, A. Grutter
- Biology
- Animal Behaviour
- 1 March 2002
How can cooperation persist if, for one partner, cheating is more profitable than cooperation in each round, while the other partner has no option to cheat? Our laboratory experiments suggest that… Expand
Biting cleaner fish use altruism to deceive image–scoring client reef fish
- R. Bshary
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 October 2002
Humans are more likely to help those who they have observed helping others previously. Individuals may thus benefit from being altruistic without direct reciprocity of recipients but due to gains in… Expand
Adult Cleaner Wrasse Outperform Capuchin Monkeys, Chimpanzees and Orang-utans in a Complex Foraging Task Derived from Cleaner – Client Reef Fish Cooperation
- L. Salwiczek, Laurent Prétôt, +7 authors R. Bshary
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 21 November 2012
The insight that animals' cognitive abilities are linked to their evolutionary history, and hence their ecology, provides the framework for the comparative approach. Despite primates renowned dietary… Expand
