Post-conflict (PC) affiliation refers to positive social interactions that
occur after fights. Although this behavior has been widely studied, its
functions are rarely tested. We examine a potential function of PC
third-party affiliation (affiliation between former opponents and
bystanders) in rooks and jackdaws by investigating the hypothesis that
conflicts lead to further aggression and that PC third-party affiliation
increases to reduce such aggression. The results show that PC affiliation
reduces PC aggression for rook aggressors who were less likely to receive
aggression after conflicts when they were affiliating with another vs.
when they were alone. The opposite result was found for victims of both
species who received more aggression after conflicts, and this aggression
was not reduced by the act of affiliating. Finally, for jackdaw
aggressors, the amount of aggression received after conflicts was not
influenced by whether the individual was affiliating or alone, indicating
that PC third-party affiliation may serve a function that we did not
examine. These findings highlight the importance of investigating
functional differences in PC affiliative behavior according to the role
played in the conflict.
