Little evidence that Eurasian jays protect their caches by responding to cues about a conspecific’s desire and visual perspective (2021)
Journal Article
Amodio, P., Farrar, B. G., Krupenye, C., Ostojić, L., & Clayton, N. S. (2021). Little evidence that Eurasian jays protect their caches by responding to cues about a conspecific’s desire and visual perspective. eLife, 10, Article e69647. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.69647

Eurasian jays have been reported to protect their caches by responding to cues about either the visual perspective or current desire of an observing conspecific, similarly to other corvids. Here, we used established paradigms to test whether these bi...

Social bonds provide multiple pathways to reproductive success in wild male chimpanzees (2021)
Journal Article
Feldblum, J. T., Krupenye, C., Bray, J., Pusey, A. E., & Gilby, I. C. (2021). Social bonds provide multiple pathways to reproductive success in wild male chimpanzees. iScience, 24(8), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2021.102864

In most male mammals, fitness is strongly shaped by competitive access to mates, a non-shareable resource. How, then, did selection favor the evolution of cooperative social bonds? We used behavioral and genetic data on wild chimpanzees (Pan troglody... Read More about Social bonds provide multiple pathways to reproductive success in wild male chimpanzees.

Bonobos and chimpanzees preferentially attend to familiar members of the dominant sex (2021)
Journal Article
Lewis, L. S., Kano, F., Stevens, J. M., DuBois, J. G., Call, J., & Krupenye, C. (2021). Bonobos and chimpanzees preferentially attend to familiar members of the dominant sex. Animal Behaviour, 177, 193-206. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2021.04.027

Social animals must carefully track consequential events and opportunities for social learning. However, the competing demands of the social world produce trade-offs in social attention, defined as directed visual attention towards conspecifics. A ke...
