Extra-pair paternity in the monogamous alpine marmot (Marmota marmota): the roles of social setting and female mate choice (2006, background): “Dominant males may reduce EPP occurrence by preventing female access to EPMs (Peters et al. 2001; Richardson et al. 2001; Double and Cockburn 2003).”
Seasonal variation and social correlates of androgen excretion in male redfronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus) (2002, background): “Hegner and Wingfield 1987; Vleck and Brown 1999; but see Peters et al. 2001 ), the evidence is mixed for mammals: decreased levels of testosterone increased the rate of paternal behaviour in some rodents (Brown et al. 1995; Clark and Galef 1999; Reburn and Wynne-Edwards 1999), whereas in other stud”
Predation risk, host immune response, and parasitism (2004, background): “…sparrows and other bird species have shown that males with larger secondary sexual characters have higher concentrations of circulating testosterone but lower concentrations of circulating corticosterone (González et al., 2001; Peters et al., 2001; Saino and Møller, 1995; Saino et al., 2002).”
Age, musth and paternity success in wild male African elephants, Loxodonta africana (2007, background): “For instance, in some cooperatively breeding species, dominant males may be distinguished from other males by their higher androgen profiles and they may socially and/or physiologically suppress reproduction in subordinates (Clarke & Faulkes 1998; Peters et al. 2001; Bales et al. 2006; Bender et al.”
