In most species, food sharing occurs between kin, such as parents provisioning offspring, or between mating partners.
“In most species, food sharing occurs between kin, such as parents provisioning their offspring (birds [44], mammals [45,47,49]), or between mating partners (insects [44], birds [43], mammals [45,47,50], humans [51]).”
From Food sharing is linked to urinary oxytocin levels and bonding in related and unrelated wild chimpanzees (2014) · cites this paper as [47]
The study's results are inconsistent with the hypothesis that food sharing between non-kin is caused by manipulation, particularly harassment via persistent begging, in which only recipients gain benefits.
“Our results are inconsistent with the hypothesis that food sharing between non-kin is caused by manipulation, particularly through harassment via persistent begging [47,55], whereby only recipients gain benefits [6,71].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
