• Association patterns of African elephants in all-male groups: the role of age and genetic relatedness (2011, background): “Associations of males based on genetic relatedness have been observed in a number of territorial species exhibiting male philopatry (Packer & Pusey 1982) or maleemale alliances to defend oestrous females (Parsons et al. 2003).”
• Social network correlates of food availability in an endangered population of killer whales, Orcinus orca (2012, unknown): “The predominant application of social network analysis to nonhuman animals has been to investigate the internal factors affecting social dynamics (e.g. Parsons et al. 2003; Croft et al. 2005; Williams & Lusseau 2006).”
• THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS, TURSIOPS TRUNCATUS, IN THE BAHAMAS (2004, background): “The importance of kinship in establishing strong male associations (alliances) has been demonstrated for other dolphin communities (Krützen et al. 2003) and for the dolphins in Abaco, on LBB (Parsons et al. 2003).”
• Home range overlap, matrilineal and biparental kinship drive female associations in bottlenose dolphins (2010, background): “Published Parsons et al. 2003; Gero et al. 2009).”
• The size, composition and function of wild bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops sp.) mother–calf groups in Shark Bay, Australia (2008, background): “Males form long-term alliances, allowing them to better compete for females (Connor et al. 1992, 1999; Owen et al. 2002; Parsons et al. 2003).”
• Home range size of adult Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in a coastal and estuarine system is habitat and sex-specific (2016, result): “…tested for, the strength and stability of male-male social relationships in this population may reflect the presence of male alliances as have been identified in other bottlenose dolphin populations (e.g., Wells et al. 1987, Connor et al. 1992, M€oller et al. 2001, Parsons et al. 2003).”
• POPULATION GENETIC STRUCTURE OF COASTAL BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (TURSIOPS TRUNCATUS) IN THE NORTHERN BAHAMAS (2006, methodology): “Amplification reactions (10 L) contained 0.5 M of the SRY primers and 0.25 M of the EV37 (Parsons et al. 2003b).”
• Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, background): “2006), and males by kinship in some populations (Krützen et al. 2003; Parsons et al. 2003), but not in others (Möller et al.”
• Early social development in wild bottlenose dolphins: sex differences, individual variation and maternal influence (2008, background): “At several study sites, males form first-order alliances in which they pair with one or two other males (Owen et al. 2002; Parsons et al. 2003).”
