Assessing dominance hierarchies: validation and advantages of progressive evaluation with Elo-rating (2011, background): “We expected 273 such events to induce instability (e.g., Lange & Leimar 2004; Beehner et al. 2005), thus 274 leading to higher S values when compared to periods before such incidents.”
Female hierarchy instability, male immigration and infanticide increase glucocorticoid levels in female chacma baboons (2006, background): “Aggression was defined to include vocal and visual threats, as well as physical attacks.”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “Second, lactating females’ glucocorticoid levels rise substantially when new males join the group and acquire high-ranking positions (Beehner et al. 2005; Engh et al. 2006a).”
Stress in Yucatan spider monkeys: effects of environmental conditions on fecal cortisol levels in wild and captive populations (2009, background): “Among these, the continued presence of humans (Davis et al., 2005), the artificial provisioning of food resources (Waitt & Buchanan-Smith, 2001) and changes in grouping patterns (Beehner et al., 2005; Honess & Marin, 2006) may be important stressors.”
Social relationships among adult female baboons (Papio cynocephalus) II. Variation in the quality and stability of social bonds (2006, background): “Close relationships with adult male baboons mitigate the distress of lactating females when potentially infanticidal males are present (Beehner et al. 2005).”
Correlates of stress in free-ranging male chacma baboons, Papio hamadryas ursinus (2005, background): “grooming, approaches, tolerance for infant handling) than with any other male (Palombit et al. 1997; Beehner et al. 2005).”
Immigration costs for female chimpanzees and male protection as an immigrant counterstrategy to intrasexual aggression (2008, methodology): “For this reason, glucocorticoids have been widely used in animal studies to assess the physiological costs of behavioural interactions or resource fluctuation (e.g. van Schaik et al. 1991; Alberts et al. 1992; Goymann et al. 2001; Muller & Wrangham 2004b; Beehner et al. 2005; Muller et al. 2007).”
Factors affecting individual participation in group-level aggression among non-human primates (2007, unknown): “…glucocorticoids in some individuals can indicate social stress resulting from between-group competition or infanticidal attacks (e.g., baboons, Beehner et al., 2005), Third, non-invasive means of extracting DNA from wild populations (e.g., chimpanzees, Vigilant et al., 2001) has the potential…”
