Journal Article
Vitikainen, E. I. K., Cant, M. A., Sanderson, J. L., Mitchell, C., Nichols, H. J., Marshall, H. H., …Blount, J. D. (2016). Evidence of oxidative shielding of offspring in a wild mammal. Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 4, Article 58. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2016.00058

Oxidative damage has been proposed as a potential mechanism underlying a life history tradeoff between survival and reproduction. However, evidence that reproduction is associated with increased oxidative damage is equivocal, and some studies have fo...

Reproductive competition triggers mass eviction in cooperative banded mongooses (2016)
Journal Article
Thompson, F. J., Marshall, H. H., Sanderson, J. L., Vitikainen, E. I. K., Nichols, H. J., Gilchrist, J. S., …Cant, M. A. (2016). Reproductive competition triggers mass eviction in cooperative banded mongooses. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 283(1826), 20152607. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2015.2607

In many vertebrate societies, forced eviction of group members is an important determinant of population structure, but little is known about what triggers eviction. Three main explanations are: (i) the reproductive competition hypothesis, (ii) the c... Read More about Reproductive competition triggers mass eviction in cooperative banded mongooses.
