Engelhardt S, Paulsson N, Taborsky M
iScience . 2024 Dec; 27(12):111314. PMID: 39679295
Norway rats are known to liberate trapped conspecifics, which implies an empathic response to the deplorable situation of the captive. If this is an altruistic behavior reflecting an evolved decision...

Garcia-Ruiz I, Taborsky M
iScience . 2024 Aug; 27(7):110334. PMID: 39100926
In cooperative societies, group members typically exchange different commodities among each other, which involves an incessant negotiation process. How is the conflict of fitness interests resolved in this continual bargaining...

Enghelhardt S, Paulsson N, Taborsky M
R Soc Open Sci . 2023 Oct; 10(10):231253. PMID: 37885980
Wild-type Norway rats reciprocate help received in a well-replicated experimental food-giving task, but the criteria to appraise the received help's value are unclear. We tested whether quality or quantity of...

Zottl M, Schreier T, Taborsky M
Behav Ecol . 2023 May; 34(3):363-372. PMID: 37192918
Members of social groups may negotiate among each other about the exchange of goods and services. If this involves asymmetries between interacting partners, for instance in condition, power, or expected...

Dolivo V, Engqvist L, Taborsky M
Anim Cogn . 2023 Mar; 26(4):1119-1130. PMID: 36869235
Direct reciprocity requires the ability to recognize and memorize social partners, and to remember their previous actions. 'Insufficient cognitive abilities' have been assumed to potentially impair the ability to cooperate...

Jungwirth A, Zottl M, Bonfils D, Josi D, Frommen J, Taborsky M
Sci Adv . 2023 Mar; 9(9):eadd2146. PMID: 36867697
Social evolution is tightly linked to dispersal decisions, but the ecological and social factors selecting for philopatry or dispersal often remain obscure. Elucidating selection mechanisms underlying alternative life histories requires...

Singh P, Taborsky M, Peichel C, Sturmbauer C
Mol Ecol . 2023 Jan; 32(7):1592-1607. PMID: 36588349
Sexually antagonistic selection, which favours different optima in males and females, is predicted to play an important role in the evolution of sex chromosomes. Body size is a sexually antagonistic...

Garcia-Ruiz I, Taborsky M
Biol Lett . 2022 Oct; 18(10):20220170. PMID: 36196551
Mechanisms selecting for the evolution of cooperative breeding are hotly debated. While kin selection theory has been the central paradigm to explain the seemingly altruistic behaviour of non-reproducing helpers, it...

Garcia-Ruiz I, Quinones A, Taborsky M
Sci Adv . 2022 May; 8(21):eabl7853. PMID: 35622922
The evolution of cooperative breeding has been traditionally attributed to the effect of kin selection. While there is increasing empirical evidence that direct fitness benefits are relevant, the relative importance...

Antunes D, Soares M, Taborsky M
Mol Cell Endocrinol . 2022 Apr; 550:111649. PMID: 35436519
Dopamine is part of the reward system triggering the social decision-making network in the brain. It has hence great potential importance in the regulation of social behaviour, but its significance...
