Vocal signalling of male southern elephant seals is honest but imprecise (2007, background): “It has been suggested frequently that acoustic signals may convey honest information about attributes of a vocalizer’s phenotype such as body size or maturity (Morton 1977; Clutton-Brock & Albon 1979; Harper 1991; Fitch & Hauser 2002; Kitchen et al. 2003; Reby & McComb 2003).”
Testosterone predicts future dominance rank and mating activity among male chacma baboons (2006, background): “Some males, however, remain in their natal groups for their entire lives (Hamilton and Bulger 1990; Kitchen et al. 2003) and occasionally achieve the alpha position.”
The effect of new alpha males on female stress in free-ranging baboons (2005, methodology): “Female ranks were completely stable and strictly linear during the study period, while male ranks were much more dynamic (Bulger 1993; Kitchen et al. 2003).”
Correlates of stress in free-ranging male chacma baboons, Papio hamadryas ursinus (2005, background): “We knew all ages for natal males (NZ 3), andwe assigned ages to immigrantmales (NZ 10) based on dental characteristics (Kitchen et al. 2003).”
Baboons eavesdrop to deduce mating opportunities (2007, unknown): “Dominance ranks were determined by the outcome of aggressive and approacheretreat interactions (supplants) (Bulger 1993; Kitchen et al. 2003).”
Female hierarchy instability, male immigration and infanticide increase glucocorticoid levels in female chacma baboons (2006, background): “Unlike females, adult males attain social rank through contest competition, and the male hierarchy is comparatively unstable (Bulger 1993; Kitchen et al. 2003).”
Vocal alliances in Chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus) (2007, background): “This is because the alpha male monopolizes most matings (Bulger 1993; Altmann et al. 1996), and in this population of baboons, male tenure in the alpha position rarely exceeds 1 year (Kitchen et al. 2003; Cheney et al. 2004).”
Sexual Selection in the Loud Calls of Male Primates: Signal Content and Function (2006, background): “Evidence from field studies on baboons indicates that acoustic features of male wahoos correlate with male dominance rank, age, and calling bout length (Kitchen et al., 2003), suggesting a capacity for assessment by listeners.”
Chest Color and Social Status in Male Geladas (Theropithecus gelada) (2009, unknown): “Despite the wealth of data on signals from other taxa, only very recently have quality signals been studied in primates (Fischer et al. 2004; Gerald 2001; Gouzoules and Gouzoules 2002; Kitchen et al. 2003; Setchell 2005; Setchell and Wickings 2005; Setchell et al. 2008).”
Roars of black howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya): evidence for a function in inter-group spacing (2006, background): “In the first case the call informs about some trait of the individual/group related to its ability to defend the resource under dispute, such as size (Bee et al., 1999), weight (Reby & McComb, 2003), condition ( Kitchen et al., 2003 ), status, numbers (McComb et al., 1994; Kitchen, 2004), etc.”
Baboon loud calls advertise male quality: acoustic features and their relation to rank, age, and exhaustion (2004, methodology): “In playback experiments, alarm and contest wahoos elicit different responses from listeners (Kitchen et al. 2003a).”
