Revisiting the consequences of cooperative breeding

Abstract: Thornton & McAuliffe (2015) recently questioned the hypothesis that cooperative breeding has a variety of socio-cognitive consequences, invoking both logical and empirical arguments. The cooperative breeding hypothesis (CBH) posits that the immediate tasks associated with extensive allomaternal care require motivational proximate mechanisms, such as increased social tolerance or proactive prosociality which, as a side-effect, also can facilitate performance in socio-cognitive tasks. Eventually, over evolutiona… Show more

“…This finding is thus consistent with the hypothesis that cooperative breeding favored an increase of marmosets' cognitive skills, at least in the social domain, perhaps by selecting for increased social attentiveness (Burkart & van Schaik, 2016).…”

“…Such a foraging strategy may promote cognition and curiosity (Burkart et al, 2016;Schuppli et al, 2016, Stevens et al 2005). Extractive foraging is suggested to favor an association of exploration tendency and persistence (Massen et al, 2013).…”

“…This raises the question of the evolutionary origin of corepresentation and why we find it in both humans and marmoset monkeys. One possibility is that it may have evolved convergently in humans and marmosets, because they are both true cooperative breeders and therefore routinely engage in cooperative activities that require coordinated actions (Burkart, Hrdy, & van Schaik, 2009;Burkart & van Schaik, 2016).…”

“…In species where infants are carried and thus transferred from one caregiver to another, all potential carriers must be highly tolerant. Both observations from the wild [69,100,101] and empirical evidence in captivity [102][103][104] suggest the amount of allomaternal care is indeed correlated with grouplevel social tolerance in primates. Important in the context of this paper, what is decisive is the extent of allomaternal care, rather than whether or not a species qualifies as cooperative breeder.…”
