Strategic intergroup alliances increase access to a contested resource in male bottlenose dolphins

Autor: Richard C. Connor, Michael Krützen, Simon J. Allen, William B. Sherwin, Stephanie L. King

Efforts to understand human social evolution rely largely on comparisons with nonhuman primates. However, a population of bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia, combines a chimpanzee-like fission-fusion grouping pattern, mating system,
