A female-biased gene expression signature of dominance in cooperatively breeding meerkats

The paper identifies a female-biased gene expression signature of dominance in meerkats, showing differential gene expression in females but not males, with implications for social status and life history trade-offs.

Ageing red deer alter their spatial behaviour and become less social

This study shows that older red deer become less socially connected and alter their spatial behavior, indicating age-related changes in social and spatial dynamics in a wild population.

A heritable androgenic mechanism of female intrasexual competition in cooperatively breeding meerkats

The paper investigates androgen-mediated female intrasexual competition in meerkats, showing that matriarchs' androgen levels influence their behavior and offspring aggression across generations.

Multiple spatial behaviours govern social network positions in a wild ungulate

The paper uses a 43-year dataset of red deer to show how spatial behaviors and other factors shape social network positions.

The development of individual differences in cooperative behaviour: maternal glucocorticoid hormones alter helping behaviour of offspring in wild meerkats

This study shows that maternal cortisol during pregnancy in meerkats reduces offspring growth and increases cooperative behavior in daughters but not sons.
