• The ecology and evolution of eusociality in sponge-dwelling shrimp (2002, background): “More recent work suggests that cyclic inbreeding is not characteristic of most termites (Myles and Nutting, 1988; Thorne, 1997) and that naked mole-rats, despite generally high inbreeding, seek unrelated mates when they are available (Braude, 2000; Ciszek, 2000).”
• A genetic analysis of breeding success in the cooperative meerkat (Suricata suricatta) (2003, background): “Behavioral suppression of subordinate females by dominant females has been well documented previously by Clutton-Brock et al. (1998a). Given the ability of the dominant female to successfully suppress breeding attempts made by her subordinate daughters and sisters, suppression may be less important ”
