• Evolution of Cooperation among Mammalian Carnivores and Its Relevance to Hominin Evolution (2012, background): “Dominance relationships are extremely stable across years and ecological contexts (Frank 1986; Smith et al. 2011), but rank itself is not correlated with size or fighting ability (Engh et al. 2000).”
• Hamilton's legacy: kinship, cooperation and social tolerance in mammalian groups (2014, background): “At reunions, hyaenas preferentially greet kin over nonkin and these greetings often promote coalitions to form (Smith et al., 2011).”
