# behav: intriguing wolves, prosociality among wolves (compared to dogs)

<<  Prosociality is important for initiating cooperation. (..) In a prosocial choice task, wolves acted prosocially to in-group partners; providing significantly more food to a pack-member compared to a control where the partner had no access to the food. Dogs did not. Additionally, wolves did not show a prosocial response to non-pack members, in line with previous research that social relationships are important for prosociality.  >>

Wolves more prosocial than pack dogs in touchscreen experiment. Findings support idea that dogs helping pack members is ancestral tendency, and not due to domestication. May 1, 2019.

# s-behav: inequity aversion in wolves and dogs

<< inequity aversion was present already in the common—probably cooperative—ancestor of wolves and dogs and thus support the hypothesis of a close link of cooperation and inequity aversion >>

# behav: reconciliation following conflicts in wolves compared to dogs

<< Highly cooperative social species are expected to engage in frequent reconciliation following conflicts in order to maintain pack cohesiveness and preserve future cooperation. >>

AA << provide evidence for reconciliation in captive wolves, which are highly dependent on cooperation between pack members, while domestic dogs, which rely on conspecific cooperation less than wolves, avoided interacting with their partners after conflicts. >>
