• Trade-offs in activity budget in an alpine ungulate: contrasting lactating and nonlactating females (2008, background): “Adult female mountain goats can start reproducing at 3 years of age but only reach asymptotic body mass at prime-age, that is at about 7 years of age (Côté & Festa-Bianchet 2001).”
• Long-term dominance relationships in female mountain gorillas: strength, stability and determinants of rank (2005, background): “These ‘age-positive’ trends are not necessarily related to body mass, and they continue beyond the age at which mass reaches a plateau (e.g., bison cows: Rutberg, 1983; red deer: Thouless & Guinness, 1986; mountain goats: Cote & Festa-Bianchet, 2001).”
• Assessing dominance hierarchies: validation and advantages of progressive evaluation with Elo-rating (2011, background): “High 10 hierarchical rank or social status is often associated with fitness benefits for individuals 11 (e.g., Côté & Festa-Bianchet 2001; von Holst et al. 2002; Widdig et al. 2004; Engelhardt 12 et al. 2006), and hierarchies can be found in most animal taxa including insects (e.g., 13 Kolmer &…”
• Social cohesion in yellow-bellied marmots is established through age and kin structuring (2010, unknown): “…elephants, Loxodonta africana: Archie et al. 2006; female mountain goats, Oreamnos americanus: Côté 2000;male long-tailed manakins, Chiroxiphia linearis: McDonald 1989), and have associated fitness consequences (mountain goats: Côté & Festa-Bianchet 2001; long-tailed manakins: McDonald 1989).”
• Dominance rank relationships among wild female African elephants, Loxodonta africana (2006, background): “…& Dunbar 1977; Dunbar 1984; Clutton-Brock et al. 1986; Thouless & Guinness 1986; Lloyd & Rasa 1989; Thouless 1990; Fairbanks 1994; van Dierendonck et al. 1995; Fournier & Fiesta-Bianchet 1995; Cassinello & Alados 1996; Ganslosser & Dellert 1997; Linklater 2000; Côté & Festa-Bianchet 2001).”
• The importance of social behaviour for goat welfare in livestock farming (2010, background): “In mountain goats, dominant females had higher reproductive success than did subordinates (Côté and Festa-Bianchet, 2001).”
