Associations of early social experience with offspring DNA methylation and later life stress phenotype

Z. M. Laubach, J. R. Greenberg, J. W. Turner, T. Montgomery, M. O. Pioon, L. Smale, R. Cavalcante, K. R. Padmanabhan, C. Lalancette, B. vonHoldt, C. D. Faulk, D. C. Dolinoy, K. E. Holekamp, W. Perng

The paper examines how early social experiences in spotted hyenas affect DNA methylation and stress phenotype later in life, finding associations between social connectedness and DNA methylation biomarkers near inflammation-related genes.

Infanticide by females is a leading source of juvenile mortality in a large social carnivore

A. K. Brown, M. O. Pioon, K. Holekamp, E. D. Strauss

The paper quantifies infanticide's role in juvenile mortality among wild spotted hyenas, finding it accounts for 24% of deaths and supports the hypothesis of social status competition as its evolutionary driver.
