Fecal glucocorticoid metabolite analysis as an indicator of stress during translocation and acclimation in an endangered large mammal, the Grevy's zebra (2008, background): “…status, anesthesia, capture and transport, environmental enrichment, radio-transmitters, logging and snowmobile activity (e.g. Wasser et al., 1997; Whitten et al., 1998; Boinski et al., 1999; Goymann et al., 1999; Creel et al., 2002; Dehnhard et al., 2003; Wells et al., 2003; Sands & Creel, 2004).”
Correlates of stress in free-ranging male chacma baboons, Papio hamadryas ursinus (2005, background): “…initial acceptance 17 September 2004; final acceptance 20 December 2004; published online 26 July 2005; MS. number: A9956) In male baboons, social instability is known to increase concentrations of glucocorticoids (GCs), a class of steroid hormones associated with the vertebrate stress response.”
Modulation of aggressive behaviour by fighting experience: mechanisms and contest outcomes (2005, background): “…groups, the relationship between dominance status and corticosteroid levels is less clear ; hormone titres can correlate positively, negatively, or not at all with social rank (e.g. Overli et al., 1999b ; Sloman et al., 2000; Muller & Wrangham, 2004; Sands & Creel, 2004; Weingrill et al., 2004).”
The self-domestication hypothesis: evolution of bonobo psychology is due to selection against aggression (2012, background): “In wolves, reproductive competition among females includes dominant females readily attacking and sometimes killing the pups of subordinate females (McLeod 1990; Derix et al. 1993; McLeod et al. 1996; Sands & Creel 2004).”
Social play in captive wolves (Canis lupus): not only an immature affair (2009, methodology): “Following Sands & Creel (2004), I defined mating period as the interval between the first and the last day that I witnessed mating within the pack.”
