abstract = {{Understanding the dynamics of inter-group cooperation in human adaptation has been the {\textless}br{\textgreater}subject of recent empirical and theoretical studies in evolutionary anthropology, beginning to {\textless}br{\textgreater}fill gaps in our knowledge of how interactions across political, economic and social domains {\textless}br{\textgreater}can{\textemdash}and often do{\textemdash}lead to stable, large-scale cooperation. Here we investigate dyadic {\textless}br{\textgreater}intergroup cooperation in shotgun hunting in the Republic of the Congo. In the Congo Basin, {\textless}br{\textgreater}inter-group cooperation between foragers and farmers is at the center of an exchange system {\textless}br{\textgreater}maintained by traditional norms and institutions such as fictive kinship. Here, we focused on {\textless}br{\textgreater}what factors predict cooperative shotgun hunting exchanges between BaYaka and Yambe. {\textless}br{\textgreater}We conducted structured interviews with 48 BaYaka hunters and 18 Yambe men who {\textless}br{\textgreater}organize hunts in a village along the Motaba River. We used Bayesian multilevel regression {\textless}br{\textgreater}models to investigate the influence of Yambe and BaYaka attributes on probability of dyadic {\textless}br{\textgreater}cooperation. We found that BaYaka men{\textquoteright}s reputations as skilled hunters and their family size {\textless}br{\textgreater}each predicted cooperation in shotgun hunting, whereas there was no effect of Yambe {\textless}br{\textgreater}attributes (status, wealth, family size). We discuss the results in terms of evolutionary models {\textless}br{\textgreater}of men as hunters and inter-group cooperation, as well as biodiversity conservation {\textless}br{\textgreater}implications.}},
