Abstract
⺠We examine patterns of agonistic support in captive ravens. ⺠We find support for long-term but not short-term reciprocation of support. ⺠Ravens supported individuals who preened them, kin and dominant individuals. ⺠Strong correlation between dyadic levels of agonistic support and consolation. ⺠Ravens may use emotions to mediate reciprocation of support.
