The paper finds that participation in between-group conflicts in wild vervet monkeys is linked to lower long-term cortisol levels, suggesting physiological benefits of cooperative behavior.

This study applies standardized cognitive testing to teleost fishes, revealing species-level variation in inhibitory control with weak phylogenetic signal and significant within-species differences.

The paper models pairwise and coalitional contests using reinforcement learning, finding that coalition advantages and border conflict costs promote intervention by neighbours.

This study examines male services in vervet monkeys, finding that certain behaviors predict mating success, supporting reputation-based partner choice as a driver of cooperation.

The study shows that fast growth in cleaner wrasse is linked to reduced social control rather than service quality, with slow growers spending more time near dominants.

The paper tracks sex change in cleaner wrasse, finding that smaller females can outgrow larger ones and sex change is influenced by growth, harem switching, and population density.

The paper tracks sex-specific survival and growth in a protogynous fish during climate stress, finding higher male survival despite expected female vulnerabilities.

The study examines grooming exchanges between male-female vervet monkeys, finding that females initially invest heavily and reduce grooming over time, while males increase frequency after residency, leading to near reciprocity.

This study examines male vervet monkey leadership in high-risk terrain, finding that dominant males lead more often, especially in risky contexts, suggesting cooperative service rather than paternal care.

The paper tests working memory in cleaner wrasse and finds negative results, challenging previous positive findings in other fish species.

This study investigates how oxytocin and shared intentionality influence cooperation in children during an egg hunt game, finding similarities to adult behavior but differences in underlying mechanisms.

This study tracks coral reef fish recovery at Lizard Island after cyclones and coral bleaching, showing resilience and recovery to pre-disturbance levels by 2022.
