Comparative tests of reproductive skew in male primates: the roles of demographic factors and incomplete control (2006, unknown): “Other studies supported the tug-of-war model [e.g., social wasp (Polistes carolina), Seppä et al. 2002; Australian allodapine bees (Exoneura nigrescens), Langer et al. 2004; see Clutton-Brock 1998; Field et al. 1998].”
Fertility signalling and reproductive skew in queenless ants (2004, background): “Rower 1975; Bradbury & Vehrencamp 1998), but almost never for the allocation of intragroup reproduction.”
Alternative tactics and individual reproductive success in natural associations of the burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides (2007, background): “In insects, molecular parentage analysis is largely restricted to social hymenoptera (e.g., Bourke et al. 1997; Queller et al. 2000; Seppä et al. 2002; Brown et al. 2003; Paxton et al. 2003) although some other orders have been studied (Saccheri and Bruford 1993; Simmons and Achmann 2000;…”
