In species in which adults of the two sexes show long-term association, males often engage in acts of assistance (“services”) aimed at females and/or their young in various behavioural contexts that are not reciprocated.

Inter-morph pollen transfer and its dependence on herkogamy and reciprocity are not completely understood in species with stigma-height dimorphism. We asked whether total stigmatic pollen loads, inter-morph fraction of pollen load and reproductive success differed between morphs in Jasminum malabaricum, a species exhibiting stigma-height dimorphism...

Since the pioneering study by Banfield, the North-South gap in Italian social capital has been considered by international scholars as an example of how cultural diversity within a country can generate different developmental outcomes. Most studies, however, suffer from limited external validity and measurement error. This paper exploits a new and ...
