Although I did not use the term 'market' yet, the story started with the following paper. The importance of partner choice, an essential ingredient of biological markets, became clear to me while studying coalition formation in male baboons. This paper and Noë et al. 1991 were based on chapters from my thesis (University of Utrecht 1989)
