Food sharing in vampire bats: reciprocal help predicts donations more than relatedness or harassment.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Feb 2013

Carter Gerald G, Wilkinson Gerald S

Abstract excerpt

Common vampire bats often regurgitate food to roost-mates that fail to feed. The original explanation for this costly helping behaviour invoked both direct and indirect fitness benefits. Several authors have since suggested that food sharing is maintained solely by indirect fitness because non-ki...
