TL;DR: InbreedR is an R package that provides functions to calculate g2 based on microsatellite and SNP markers with associated P‐values and confidence intervals and implements user‐friendly simulations to explore the precision and magnitude of estimates based on different numbers of genetic markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive control via eviction (but not the threat of eviction) in banded mongooses
TL;DR: A simple game theoretical analysis is presented that suggests that eviction threats may often be ineffective to induce pre-emptive restraint among multiple subordinates and predicts that threats of eviction will be much more effective in dyadic relationships and linear hierarchies.
Book ChapterDOI
Demography and Social Evolution of Banded Mongooses
TL;DR: Over a decade of research on an unusually tractable cooperative mammal system, the banded mongoose, is drawn together and the links between within-group conflict, demography, and the evolution of cooperative life histories are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cost of dominance: suppressing subordinate reproduction affects the reproductive success of dominant female banded mongooses
TL;DR: It is argued that much of the variation in reproductive skew both within and between social species may be influenced by adaptive variation in the effort invested in suppression by dominants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Top males gain high reproductive success by guarding more successful females in a cooperatively breeding mongoose
TL;DR: The findings highlight the importance of mate choice in males and reveal the behavioural differences between the sexes that generate reproductive skew, and emphasize the considerable influence that female behaviour can have on male reproductive skew.
