Network structure is related to social conflict in a cooperatively breeding fish (2013, background): “Furthermore, aggression rates increase with social rank in several social vertebrates (e.g. Equus caballus, Araba & Crowell-Davis 1994; Pan troglodytes, Muller & Wrangham 2004), although such tests rarely consider confounding variables such as sex or body size.”
Male and female cooperatively breeding fish provide support for the "Challenge Hypothesis" (2006, background): “Since the publication of this now classic paper, a plethora of research has emerged in a wide variety of species cementing our understanding of how aggressive interactions increase plasma, urinary, and fecal androgen levels (in birds: Wingfield et al., 1990; in fish: Francis et al., 1992, 1993; Hirs”
Social modulation of androgens in male vertebrates: Meta-analyses of the challenge hypothesis (2006, background): “In mammalian studies, results supporting the predictions of the challenge hypothesis have focused on male androgen responsiveness to sexual and aggressive interactions (Cavigelli & Pereira 2000; Buck & Barnes 2003; Goymann et al. 2003; Muller & Wrangham 2004).”
Craniofacial Feminization, Social Tolerance, and the Origins of Behavioral Modernity (2014, background): “…throughout the day (following circadian rhythms and in response to reproductively meaningful stimuli, including male-male agonism; Archer 2006; Muller and Wrangham 2004; Wobber et al. 2010) and over the life course (e.g., Wobber et al. 2013), it is perhaps more appropriate to think of this…”
Testosterone and human aggression: an evaluation of the challenge hypothesis. (2006, background): “Muller and Wrangham (2004) therefore argued that testosterone levels supported the high levels of aggression in dominant Chimpanzees.”
Sexual coercion by male chimpanzees shows that female choice may be more apparent than real (2011, background): “Male dominance ranks were assigned based on the direction of submissive vocalizations (pant-grunts) and decided agonistic encounters among male dyads (Muller and Wrangham 2004).”
Immigration costs for female chimpanzees and male protection as an immigrant counterstrategy to intrasexual aggression (2008, neutral): “The proximate cause of this difference is not clear because cortisol production can be related to energetic stress, psychosocial stress, or both (e.g. Muller & Wrangham 2004b).”
Testosterone predicts future dominance rank and mating activity among male chacma baboons (2006, background): “Furthermore, they (and others) suggest that the relationship between testosterone and rank depends on the relationship between rank and aggression (Whitten 2000; Muller and Wrangham 2004).”
Mate competition, testosterone and intersexual relationships in bonobos, Pan paniscus (2012, methodology): “Furthermore, mate competition is associated with an increase in aggression and testosterone levels and reports from two groups indicate positive correlations between male rank, aggression and testosterone levels (Muller & Wrangham 2004; Muehlenbein et al. 2004).”
