Citations in the corpus

• Mate guarding and paternity in mandrills: factors influencing alpha male monopoly (2005, background): “Like chacma baboons, male mandrills do not form coalitions (Setchell & Wickings 2005), predicting that mandrills should fit the priority-of-access model.”
• Colours of quality: structural (but not pigment) coloration informs about male quality in a polychromatic lizard (2014, background): “Similar quality signals have been described in numerous vertebrate and invertebrate species (e.g. Lim & Li, 2013; Setchell & Wickings, 2005).”
• Message framing and color priming: How subtle threat cues affect persuasion (2009, background): “At a biological level, red may instinctively signal the presence of impending personal danger (e.g., red signals fighting ability in primates; Setchell & Wickings, 2005).”
• Color and psychological functioning: the effect of red on performance attainment. (2007, background): “…these learned associations emerge from a deeply ingrained predisposition across phylogeny to interpret red as a signal of danger in competition contexts (e.g., the superiority, aggressiveness, or attack readiness of an opponent; Pryke, Andersson, Lawes, & Piper, 2001; Setchell & Wickings, 2005).”
• Chest Color and Social Status in Male Geladas (Theropithecus gelada) (2009, unknown): “Male mandrills assess rivals based on red facial coloration (Setchell and Wickings 2005), and face color appears to be an honest signal of competitive ability (Setchell et al.”
