Group size and the suppression of subordinate reproduction in Kalahari meerkats (2008, background): “Empirical research in a number of vertebrate societies has shown that dominants do not always have full control of subordinate reproduction (Clutton-Brock 1998; Haydock & Koenig 2002; Kutsukake & Nunn 2006).”
The lemur syndrome unresolved: extreme male reproductive skew in sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi), a sexually monomorphic primate with female dominance (2008, background): “Moreover, as revealed by a comparative study in primates, male–male competition is also sensitive to the number of competitors, because male mating skew decreases as the number of males increases (Kutsukake and Nunn 2006).”
Life in Unpredictable Environments: First Investigation of the Natural History of Microcebus griseorufus (2008, background): “In primates, the potential for mate monopolization by males depends mainly on the number of potential competitors (Kutsukake and Nunn 2006), and thus, on the sex-ratio of the population, home range size, and the degree of overlap among male and female home ranges.”
