The study found an anticipatory increase in urinary oxytocin in wild chimpanzees, similar to the anticipatory testosterone increase previously found in intergroup conflicts and intragroup competition in chimpanzees.
“Our results demonstrate an anticipatory increase in urinary oxytocin in a similar manner to the anticipatory testosterone increase found in intergroup conflicts (28) and intragroup competition (29) in chimpanzees.”

Sobolewski et al. have shown that food sharing is linked to low urinary testosterone levels in wild male chimpanzees.
“Sobolewski et al. [69] have shown that food sharing is linked to low urinary testosterone levels in wild male chimpanzees.”
From Food sharing is linked to urinary oxytocin levels and bonding in related and unrelated wild chimpanzees (2014) · cites this paper as [69]
In wild chimpanzees, urine samples following naturally-occurring food sharing events had low testosterone levels and high oxytocin levels.
“In the context of food sharing in wild chimpanzees, urine samples following naturally-occurring food sharing events had low testosterone levels (Sobolewski et al., 2012) and high oxytocin levels (Wittig et al., 2014).”

Urinary testosterone was significantly higher following territorial boundary patrols compared with before patrols in wild chimpanzees.
“Sobolewski et al. (2012) showed that urinary testosterone was significantly higher following territorial boundary patrols compared with before patrols.”

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.
