Social relationships among adult female baboons (papio cynocephalus) I. Variation in the strength of social bonds (2006, background): “…König 1994; Rusu and Krackow 2004), increases levels of care for dependent young (Arnold 1990; Christal and Whitehead 2001; Dobson et al. 2000; Hackländer et al. 2003; König 1994; McComb et al. 2001), decreases the costs of maternal investment (Gerlach and Bartmann 2002; Hayes and Solomon…”
Female–female aggression around mating: an extra cost of sociality in a multimale primate society (2011, methodology): “…discrete forms of reproductive suppression resembling the patterns described here (Clutton-Brock 2009; Stockley and Bro-Jorgensen 2011), which may be relatively common in matrilocal mammals living in stable groups (Dunbar RIM and Dunbar EP 1977; Wasser and Starling 1988; Hackländer et al. 2003).”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “Most, but not all offspring, are sired by the dominant male in the group (Hackländer et al. 2003).”
Extra-pair paternity in the monogamous alpine marmot (Marmota marmota): the roles of social setting and female mate choice (2006, background): “Indeed, although dominant females monopolize reproduction (Goossens et al. 1998a) through physiological suppression of subordinate reproduction (Hacklander et al. 2003), dominant males are unable to monopolize breeding, and EPP occurs in about one third of litters (Goossens et al. 1998a).”
