    Physiol Behav 95:508-14. 2008
    ..Therefore, we suggest a metabolic hypothesis (as opposed to a nutritional hypothesis) to explain this result. However, at the present time, we cannot rule out a behavioral stress hypothesis...

    Horm Behav 56:472-80. 2009
    ..For both yellows and chacmas, increases in testosterone production preceded elevations in social dominance rank. We discuss these differences in the context of ecological and behavioral differences exhibited by these taxa...

    Joan B Silk
    Department of Anthropology, University of California Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA
    Curr Biol 20:1359-61. 2010
    ..These data extend our understanding of the adaptive value of social bonds in baboons and complement a growing body of evidence that indicates that social bonds have adaptive value in a range of taxa, from mice to humans [9, 14-19]...
  5. ncbi Female testosterone, dominance rank, and aggression in an Ethiopian population of hybrid baboons
    Jacinta C Beehner
    Department of Anthropology, Washington University, St Louis, Missouri, USA
    Am J Primatol 67:101-19. 2005
    ..The rank-T relationship may be mediated by supplants or aggression. Finally, we discuss the different interpretations of the hormone-behavior relationship based on within- and across-subject analyses...

    Department of Anthropology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 48109, USA
    Am J Primatol 72:934-41. 2010

    Eila K Roberts
    Department of Psychology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA

    ..As such, geladas fit the allostatic load model [Goymann & Wingfield, Animal Behaviour 67:591-602, 2004]. Our study confirms the importance of female philopatry in the kin-based Cercopithecine dominance system...

    Jacinta C Beehner
    Department of Anthropology, Washington University, St Louis, MO 63130, USA
    Physiol Behav 82:269-77. 2004
