Male life history and the unusual adult sex ratios of redfronted lemur, Eulemur fulvus rufus, groups (2004, background): “1998) and even tolerate their mating activity (Ostner & Kappeler 1999; Ostner et al. 2002), indicating that dominant males benefit from the presence of additional subordinate males in their groups, whereas the benefits for subordinate males are less obvious.”
Male and female cooperatively breeding fish provide support for the "Challenge Hypothesis" (2006, background): “... 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; Hirschenhauser et al., 2004; Ros et al., 2003; in reptiles: Jessop et al., 1”
Testosterone predicts future dominance rank and mating activity among male chacma baboons (2006, background): “2005), reptiles (Klukowski and Nelson 1998), and mammals (Higely et al. 1996; Mehlman et al. 1997; Brockman et al. 1998; Cavigelli and Pereira 2000; Ostner et al. 2002; Buck and Barnes 2003).”
Noninvasive endocrine data for behavioural studies : the importance of validation (2004, background): “These measures can quantify either current (e.g. Berg & Wynne-Edwards 2002; Maso et al. 2002) or past (e.g. Wasser et al. 2000; Ostner et al. 2002) levels of hormone production and the data can be used to determine the relations between a range of hormone levels and animal behaviour across taxa…”
