New Journal Club on PLoS ONE - Chimps exchange fruit for sex

A paper published back in September - Chimpanzees Share Forbidden Fruit by Hockings et al. is getting renewed attention these days.

Rebecca Walton has compiled links to the recent media and blog coverage of the paper (including those by my SciBlings Afarensis, Greg Laden and Brian Switek), the peer-reviewer's comments have been added to the paper, and The Animal Cognition Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany has posted a series of comment as part of a Journal Club on this paper.

Now, all you need to do is join in the conversation - log in (or register if you have not done it already) and add your thoughts about chimps sharing forbidden fruit to the comments, ratings and annotations on this paper. If you decide to write a blog post, please send a trackback or, if that fails, leave us the link to your post in the comments on Rebecca's blog post.
