Simultaneous classification by rank and kinship in Japanese macaques (2006, background): “Although the ability to recognize third-party relationships has been suggested to be a unique primate characteristic (Tomasello & Call 1997), recent evidence shows that it is also shared with other social species (Paz-y-Min ˜o et al. 2004; Engh et al. 2005 ), further supporting the notion that grou”
Cooperative problem solving in a social carnivore (2009, unknown): “Increasingly, behavioural data (Engh et al. 2005) and relative brain size estimates (Holekamp et al. 2007) in spotted hyaenas, coupled with the present findings, support this argument.”
Fission‐Fusion Dynamics (2008, background): “For example, spotted hyenas use transitive inference very effectively in social situations (Engh et al. 2005).”
Numerical assessment and individual call discrimination by wild spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta (2011, unknown): “…hyaenas demonstrate complex social cognitive abilities that appear to require individual recognition, including recognition of third-party relationships among group members (Engh et al. 2005), and individual assessment of potential social partners based on their relative value (Smith et al. 2007).”
Rank-related partner choice in the fission–fusion society of the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) (2007, unknown): “2003), and they can also provide effective coalitionary support to subordinates during within-group contests (Frank 1986; Smale et al. 1995; Engh et al. 2005).”
Greetings promote cooperation and reinforce social bonds among spotted hyaenas (2011, background): “hyaena being appeased and the ‘loser’ displayed appeasement when the fight ended (Engh et al. 2005).”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “Spotted hyenas establish matrilineal dominance hierarchies, form coalitions, reconcile after conflicts, recognize paternal kin, hunt cooperatively and recognize third party relationships (Holekamp & Smale 1991; Engh et al. 2000, 2005; Wahaj et al. 2001, 2004).”
