Predicting fate from early connectivity in a social network

The results suggest that network connectivity is important for young males but less so for older males of high status (ages 10–15) and that it is difficult to explain present success without reference to social history.

Direct, though long-delayed benefits to beta males are demonstrated, which include rare copulations, ascension to alpha status, and female lek fidelity, which maintain this unusual form of male-male cooperation.

The processes of adaptation and speciation are expected to shape genomic variation within and between diverging species. Here we analyze genomic heterogeneity of genetic differentiation and…

The goal is to provide behavioral ecologists with a toolbox of current methods that can stimulate novel insights into the ecological influences and evolutionary pressures structuring networks and advance the understanding of the proximate and ultimate processes that drive animal sociality.
Cooperation Under Sexual Selection: Age-Graded Changes in a Lekking Bird
- D. McDonald
- BiologyAmerican Naturalist
- 1 November 1989
The results are consistent with the hypothesis that subdefinitive plumages in this species serve primarily as accurate indicators of age, which in turn largely determines status, and that males queue for positions in an age-based dominance system.
GENETIC STRUCTURE OF COUGAR POPULATIONS ACROSS THE WYOMING BASIN: METAPOPULATION OR MEGAPOPULATION

- 21 December 2004
Based on measures of gene flow, extinction risk in the near future appears low and Bayesian assignment to population based on individual genotypes showed that cougars in this region were best described as a single panmictic population.
EVOLUTIONARY IMPLICATIONS OF DIVERGENT CLINES IN AN AVIAN (MANACUS: AVES) HYBRID ZONE

Sexual selection remains a plausible explanation for the observed introgression of vitellinus color traits in these highly dimorphic, polygynous, lek-mating birds.
Highly variable reproductive isolation among pairs of Catostomus species

- 1 April 2015
Heterogeneity in outcomes of hybridization suggests that the threat posed by hybridization and genetic introgression to the persistence of native species probably varies with extent of reproductive isolation, both across rivers and across species pairs.
