TL;DR: Results from logistic regression analyses indicated that mortality was significantly reduced for individuals who reported providing instrumental support to friends, relatives, and neighbors, and individuals who report providing emotional support to their spouse.

Statistical physics of human cooperation
Matjaz Perc,Jillian J. Jordan,David G. Rand,Zhen Wang,Stefano Boccaletti,Attila Szolnoki,Attila Szolnoki +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review experimental and theoretical research that advances our understanding of human cooperation, focusing on spatial pattern formation, on the spatiotemporal dynamics of observed solutions, and on self-organization that may either promote or hinder socially favorable states.

Cooperation and competition in pathogenic bacteria
TL;DR: The results show that higher levels of cooperative siderophore production evolve in the higher relatedness treatments, but that more local competition selects for lower levels of siderophile production, and that there is a significant interaction between relatedness and the scale of competition.

Explaining altruistic behavior in humans
TL;DR: In this paper, strong reciprocity is defined as a predisposition to cooperate with others and to punish those who violate the norms of cooperation, at personal cost, even when it is implausible to expect that these costs will be repaid.

Animal dispersion in relation to social behaviour
TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.
