The lemur syndrome unresolved: extreme male reproductive skew in sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi), a sexually monomorphic primate with female dominance (2008, background): “Polyandrous matings by females therefore only rarely compromise the dominant male’s reproductive success, unlike in spotted hyenas, for example (Engh et al. 2002), and may be part of females’ reproductive tactics to maximize their fitness (Fisher et al.”
Greetings promote cooperation and reinforce social bonds among spotted hyaenas (2011, methodology): “Paternal kinship was determined based on genotyping (Engh et al. 2002; Van Horn et al. 2004).”
Queuing and queue-jumping: long-term patterns of reproductive skew in male savannah baboons, Papio cynocephalus (2003, unknown): “Second, dominance rank in male baboons does not change as a consequence of multiparty interactions or male coalitions (Packer 1977; J. Altmann & S. C. Alberts, unupublished data).”
Kin discrimination in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta): nepotism among siblings (2004, methodology): “Motheroffspring relations were established on the basis of regular nursing associations, and confirmed by genetic analysis (Engh et al. 2002).”
Coalitions in theory and reality: a review of pertinent variables and processes (2015, background): “…coalitionary behaviour (reviewed by Smith et al., 2010), including several social 137 carnivores (e.g. hyenas, Crocuta crocuta: Zabel et al., 1992; Engh et al., 2002; Wahaj et al., 2004; 138 ring-tailed coatis, Nasua nasua: Romero & Aureli, 2008; African wild dog, Lycaon pictus: de Villiers et…”
Effects of body size on male mating tactics and paternity in black bears, Ursus americanus (2003, background): “2002), many exceptions have also been documented (e.g., Coltman et al. 1998, 1999; Gemmell et al. 2001; Engh et al. 2002).”
Comparative tests of reproductive skew in male primates: the roles of demographic factors and incomplete control (2006, unknown): “In social mammals, a dominant male usually gains an advantage in mating or reproductive success, but subordinates regularly reproduce (Altmann 1962; Cowlishaw and Dunbar 1991; Pemberton et al. 1992; Bulger 1993; Keane et al. 1994; Creel et al. 1997; Girman et al. 1997; Launhardt et al. 2001; Engh et”
Mate guarding and paternity in mandrills: factors influencing alpha male monopoly (2005, background): “2001), and spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta (Engh et al. 2002), these data for mandrills provide more support for limited or incomplete control models of reproductive skew, which predict that subordinates will reproduce when the capacity of dominant individuals to monopolize reproduction is reduced ”
Sexual selection in wild baboons: from mating opportunities to paternity success (2006, background): “The priority of access model has also proved useful in understanding male reproductive skew in other mammal species (e.g. Say et al. 2001; Engh et al. 2002).”
