Do marmosets care to share? Oxytocin treatment reduces prosocial behavior toward strangers
Open accessAbstract
Cooperatively-breeding and socially-monogamous primates, like marmosets and humans, exhibit high levels of social tolerance and prosociality toward others. Oxytocin (OXT) generally facilitates prosocial behavior, but there is growing recognition that OXT modulation of prosocial behavior is shaped by the context of social interactions and by other motivational states such as arousal or anxiety. To determine whether prosociality varies based on social context, we evaluated whether marmoset donors (Callithrix penicillata) preferentially rewarded pairmates versus opposite-sex strangers in a prosocial food-sharing task. To examine potential links among OXT, stress systems, and prosociality, we evaluated whether pretrial cortisol levels in marmosets altered the impact of OXT on prosocial responses. Marmosets exhibited spontaneous prosociality toward others, but they did so preferentially toward strangers compared to their pairmates. When donor marmosets were treated with marmoset-specific Pro(8)-OXT, they exhibited reduced prosociality toward strangers compared to marmosets treated with saline or consensus-mammalian Leu(8)-OXT. When pretrial cortisol levels were lower, marmosets exhibited higher prosociality toward strangers. These findings demonstrate that while marmosets show spontaneous prosocial responses toward others, they do so preferentially toward opposite-sex strangers. Cooperative breeding may be associated with the expression of prosociality, but the existence of a pair-bond between marmoset partners appears to be neither necessary nor sufficient for the expression of spontaneous prosocial responses. Furthermore, high prosociality toward strangers is significantly reduced in marmosets treated with Pro(8)-OXT, suggesting that OXT does not universally enhance prosociality, but, rather OXT modulation of prosocial behavior varies depending on social context.

Marmosets treated with IN Pro8-OT reduced altruistic food sharing with opposite-sex strangers, but altruistic food sharing with their long-term pairmates was unaffected.
“marmosets treated with IN Pro8-OT reduced ‘altruistic’ food sharing with opposite-sex strangers, but ‘altruistic’ food sharing with their long-term pairmates was unaffected.”

Treatment with Pro8-OXT, but not the consensus mammalian ligand (Leu8-OXT), reduced both sociosexual behaviour and prosocial food sharing toward opposite-sex strangers.
“For instance, treatment with Pro8-OXT, but not the consensus mammalian ligand (Leu8-OXT), reduced both sociosexual behaviour and prosocial food sharing toward opposite-sex strangers (Cavanaugh et al., 2014; Mustoe et al., 2015).”

Prosocial responses occur through multiple processes both within and across species, some of which may be modified by OXT while others may not (this study).
“Ultimately, prosocial responses occur through multiple processes both within and across species, some of which may be modified by OXT (Brosnan, Talbot, et al., 2015; Chang et al., 2012; Mustoe et al., 2015) while others may not (this study).”

Pro8-OXT reduced prosocial responses toward an opposite-sex stranger in male and female marmosets during an altruistic food-sharing task.
“Pro8-OXT facilitated fidelity in female marmosets by reducing time spent in close proximity with, and sociosexual behavior toward, an opposite-sex stranger (Cavanaugh et al., 2014), and reduced prosocial responses toward an opposite-sex stranger in male and female marmosets during an altruistic food-sharing task (Mustoe et al., 2015).”
From Marmosets treated with oxytocin are more socially attractive to their long-term mate (2015) · cites this paper as Mustoe et al., 2015
The key social distinction that may account for the differences in prosociality and inequity aversion strategies in marmosets in the current study and Mustoe et al., 2015, compared to others, is that our marmosets lived in exclusive male-female pairs with no offspring while other studies have investigated marmosets that live in larger family groups.
“Overall, the key social distinction that may account for the differences in prosociality and inequity aversion strategies in marmosets in the current study and Mustoe et al., 2015, compared to others (Burkart et al., 2007; Freeman et al., 2013), is that our marmosets lived in exclusive male-female pairs with no offspring while other studies have investigated marmosets that live in larger family”

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.
