Surviving at sea: ecological and behavioural predictors of calf mortality in Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops sp. (2005, unknown): “…experience and social rank affect patterns of maternal care and offspring survivorship in a number of mammals (red deer, Cervus elaphus: Clutton-Brock et al. 1982; Wass et al. 2003; primates: Nicolson 1987; Pryce 1993, 1996; Silk 1993; rabbits, Oryctolagus cuniculus: von Holst et al. 2002).”
Social dominance, seasonal movements, and spatial segregation in African elephants: a contribution to conservation behavior (2007, background): “Differentiation among individuals in dominance rank can influence skew in reproductive success (Pusey et al. 1997; von Holst et al. 2002), resource access (Clutton-Brock 1982; Krebs and Davies 1987), territory quality (Fox et al. 1981), predation risk (Hall and Fedigan 1997), and energy budgets…”
