Foraging strategies as a function of season and rank among wild female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) (2006, background): “Dominant individuals have priority of access to food (salmon: Hakoyama and Iguchi 1997; Arctic barnacle geese: Stahl et al. 2002; cleaning gobies: Whiteman and Côté 2004), spend less time in vigilance (yellow-footed rock wallaby: Blumstein et al. 2001), and have higher energy intake rates (bears:…”
Personality predicts social dominance in female zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata, in a feeding context. (2011, background): “While one process may be predominant over the other, as in cleaning gobies, Elacatinus prochilos (Whiteman & Côté 2004), evidence shows that both may contribute to the establishment of hierarchies (Chase et al. 2002; Valderrábano-Ibarra et al. 2007), which is likely to be the case in our study.”
Intraspecific food competition in fishes (2006, background): “Fish body length is also strongly correlated with dominance and access to food resources in sponge-dwelling cleaning gobies (Elacatinus prochilos) (Whiteman and Cote 2004).”
