 Cooperation between unrelated individuals across social groups is a hallmark of human societies, underpinning our species’ unique capacity for cultural transmission and large-scale cooperation. Although long considered rare among non-human animals, recent...

- add\_circle\_outline do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract
 
While research over the last 20 years has shed important light on the vocal behaviour of our closest living relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees, a quantitative description of their full vocal repertoire is absent. Such data are critical for a holistic...

- add\_circle\_outline do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract
 
Compositionality, the capacity to combine meaningful elements into larger meaningful structures, is a hallmark of human language. Compositionality can be trivial (the combination’s meaning is the sum of the meaning of its parts) or nontrivial (one element...

- add\_circle\_outline do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract
 
In mammals, female dominance over males is a rare phenomenon. However, recent findings indicate that even in species with sexual dimorphism biased towards males, females sometimes occupy high status. Here we test three main hypotheses explaining...

- add\_circle\_outline do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract
 
In many group-living species, cooperative group defense is crucial to the reproduction and survival of group members. In humans and chimpanzees, this adaptive behavior is regulated by oxytocin, a highly conserved neurohormone. In humans, oxytocin can also...

 Reconstructing pathways to human peace can be hampered by superficial evaluations of similar processes in nonhuman species. A deeper understanding of bonobo social systems allows us to reevaluate the preconditions for peace to gain a greater insight on...

 One way mammalian mothers support offspring is by intervening on their behalf when they receive conspecific aggression. Maternal intervention protects offspring and facilitates mother–offspring rank correlation in several female-philopatric species. We...

- add\_circle\_outline do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract
 
Conservation funding is currently limited; cost-effective conservation solutions are essential. We suggest that the thousands of field stations worldwide can play key roles at the frontline of biodiversity conservation and have high intrinsic value. We...

- [ descriptionPublisher's Version](https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-022-03285-4)
 
 The potential for aggression is inherent in social interaction, and strategies to reduce the costs of aggression are ubiquitous among group-living animals. One strategy employed by lower-ranking individuals in a variety of species is the production of...

 Reproductive inequality, or reproductive skew, drives natural selection, but has been difficult to assess, particularly for males in species with promiscuous mating and slow life histories, such as bonobos (*Pan paniscus*) and chimpanzees (*Pan troglodytes*)...
