Market powers predict reciprocal grooming in golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana).
Social grooming is a common form of affiliative behavior in primates. Biological market theory suggests that grooming can be traded either for grooming or other social commodities and services. When no other services are exchanged, grooming is predicted to be approximately reciprocated within a dyad...
