The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “Spotted hyenas establish matrilineal dominance hierarchies, form coalitions, reconcile after conflicts, recognize paternal kin, hunt cooperatively and recognize third party relationships (Holekamp & Smale 1991; Engh et al. 2000, 2005; Wahaj et al. 2001, 2004).”
Kin-biased social behaviour in wild adult female white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus (2008, background): “Kin-biased social behaviour occurs in rodents (Sherman 1977; Mateo 2002), carnivores (Holekamp et al. 1997; Wahaj et al. 2004), ungulates (Heitor et al.”
Coalitions in theory and reality: a review of pertinent variables and processes (2015, background): “, 2010), including several social carnivores (e.g., hyenas, Crocuta crocuta: Zabel et al., 1992; Engh et al., 2002; Wahaj et al., 2004; ring-tailed coatis, Nasua nasua: Romero & Aureli, 2008; African wild dog, Lycaon pictus: de Villiers et al., 2003; Domestic dogs, Canis lupus familiaris: Ward et al”
Kin biased investment in wild chimpanzees (2006, background): “macaques (Widdig et al., 2001), baboons (Smith et al., 2003) and hyenas ( Wahaj et al., 2004 ).”
Fission–fusion dynamics in wild giraffes may be driven by kinship, spatial overlap and individual social preferences (2013, background): “For instance, in species such as spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta: African elephants, Loxodonta africana, and dolphins, Tursiops spp., relatedness has been documented to influence the strength and nature of social bonds (Wahaj et al. 2004; Archie et al. 2006; Frère et al. 2010b; Möller 2012).”
Hamilton's legacy: kinship, cooperation and social tolerance in mammalian groups (2014, background): “This is the case for meerkats, Suricata suricatta (Madden, Nielsen, & Clutton-Brock, 2012), European badgers, Meles meles (Hewitt, Macdonald, & Dugdale, 2009), ringtailed coatis, Nasua nasua (Hirsch, Stanton, & Maldonado, 2012), spotted hyaenas (Smith et al., 2010; Wahaj et al., 2004), bonnet macaqu”
Greetings promote cooperation and reinforce social bonds among spotted hyaenas (2011, background): “Patterns of association represent how often pairs of hyaenas spend time with each other, thus, reflecting the strength of social bonds among hyaenas (Holekamp et al. 1997a; Wahaj et al. 2004; Smith et al. 2007).”
Social and ecological determinants of fission-fusion dynamics in the spotted hyaena (2008, background): “…of the communal den as a focal point for social activity (Boydston et al. 2005; White 2007), including cooperative and affiliative behaviours among kin (Smale et al. 1993; Engh et al. 2000; Wahaj et al. 2004), we were not surprised to find large subgroups ðX ¼ 7 hyaenasÞ at these locations.”
Rank-related partner choice in the fission–fusion society of the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) (2007, unknown): “Crocuta clans are fission–fusion societies in which individuals travel, rest, and forage in subgroups that frequently change in size and composition (Kruuk 1972; Mills 1990), so preferences for social partners among Crocuta are revealed by how often they occur in subgroups with particular conspecifi”
