Comparative tests of reproductive skew in male primates: the roles of demographic factors and incomplete control (2006, positive): “As a result, the degree of reproductive skew is an outcome of struggles between the dominant and subordinate, and this struggle decreases group productivity (Reeve et al. 1998; Johnstone 2000).”
Reproduction in foundress associations of the social wasp, Polistes carolina: conventions, competition, and skew (2002, methodology): “To bring some structure to our analysis, we focus primarily on three kinds of skew theories, as delineated by Johnstone (2000) .”
Hamilton's rule and kin competition: the Kipsigis case ☆ (2007, background): “…some of the transactional models in which dominants are assumed to control the reproduction of subordinates, specifically the concessions model (Johnstone 2000, Keller and Reeve 1994), predict that relatedness within a group can exacerbate reproductive differentials among kin, leading to the…”
Variation in Individual Investment Strategies among Social Animals (2006, background): “First, the recent experimental and theoretical advance in modelling conflicts over reproduction within-group living animals (see review Johnstone 2000) may also refresh our insights into other types of conflicts.”
Hamilton's legacy: kinship, cooperation and social tolerance in mammalian groups (2014, background): “Interestingly, in such contexts, the direct benefits gained from outcompeting relatives through forces such as sibling rivalry and parent conflict generally appear to overwhelm the indirect benefits of social tolerance among kin (Cant, 2006; Johnstone, 2000;Mock & Forbes, 1992; Trivers, 1974).”
Alternative reproductive tactics and life history phenotypes (2010, background): “…and stabilising such cooperative associations between reproductive competitors are a challenge for evolutionary theory and require experimental scrutiny (Vehrencamp 1983, Keller and Reeve 1994, Johnstone 2000, Skubic et al. 2004, Bergmüller et al. 2005, Stiver et al. 2005, Taborsky 2009).”
Group size and the suppression of subordinate reproduction in Kalahari meerkats (2008, background): “First ‘limited control’ or ‘tug-of-war’ models suggest that differences in the proportion of females breeding are a consequence of variation in the capacity of dominant females to control reproduction by subordinates (e.g. Reeve et al. 1998; Johnstone 2000; Reeve & Shen 2006).”
The evolution of parental and alloparental effort in cooperatively breeding groups: when should helpers pay to stay? (2002, methodology): “Assuming (as in reproductive skew models in general; Johnstone, 2000; Reeve, 1998) that a dispersing subordinate finds a breeding vacancy and becomes a lone breeder with probability x, the dominant benefits from retaining the subordinate if wD rDwS (1 rDx)wL. (3a) The subordinate benefits from…”
Evolution of Primate Social Systems (2002, background): “Research addressing causes and mechanisms of noncontest aspects of sexual selection, such as female choice, reproductive skew and sperm competition, has reached new levels of detail and theoretical sophistication (Gibson and Langen, 1996; Johnstone, 1995, 2000).”
