The self-domestication hypothesis: evolution of bonobo psychology is due to selection against aggression (2012, background): “Males that attempt to intimidate females are easily retaliated against by a coalition of females (Kano 1992; Parish 1996; Vervaecke et al. 1999, 2000a; Fruth & Hohmann 2002; Hohmann & Fruth 2003a, b).”
Mate competition, testosterone and intersexual relationships in bonobos, Pan paniscus (2012, methodology): “Assessments of dominance relationships among male community members were based on dyadic interactions (e.g. Vervaecke et al. 2000).”
Long-Term Studies on Wild Bonobos at Wamba, Luo Scientific Reserve, D. R.

The relation between social rank, neophobia and individual learning in starlings (2006, unknown): “Although the small sample size in the present study warrants caution in interpreting these negative findings, a similar low correlation between agonistic and competitive rank orders has been reported for a wide variety of other species such as cats, rats, mice, frogs and monkeys (Syme 1974), and mor”
