DOI: 10.1016/j.jhevol.2020.102819

Abstract: The baboons (Papio sp.) exhibit marked interspecies variation in social behavior. The thesis presented here argues, first, that male philopatry is a crucial factor, arguably the crucial factor, underlying the other distinctive features (one-male units,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2018.0005

Abstract: In naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber), some non-breeding males show faster growth and are more likely to disperse than others. These differences have been suggested to be the result of a specialized developmental strategy leading to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3354/esr01026

Abstract: The Steller’s eider Polysticta stelleri is a sea duck that breeds in Arctic tundra regions of Russia and Alaska (USA). The Alaska-breeding population is listed as ‘threatened’ under the US Endangered Species Act because of… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.18933

Abstract: Whether neighboring individuals are related or not has a number of important ecological & evolutionary ramifications. Kin selection resulting from philopatry can play an important role in social and antipredatory behavior. Ground squirrels exhibit alarm… read more here.
