The motivation to inform others: a field experiment with wild chimpanzees
We found that both alarm calling and gaze marking (<i>i.e</i>., persistent gaze after stimulus detection) were more persistent in the Social than Non-Social group, although the effect of condition only reached statistical significance for gaze marking, nonetheless suggesting that chimpanzees tailored their warning behavior to the presence of others, even if they were already familiar with the potential threat.
