The cost of dominance: suppressing subordinate reproduction affects the reproductive success of dominant female banded mongooses.
Journal Article
Bell, M. B. V., Nichols, H. J., Gilchrist, J., Cant, M. A., & Hodge, S. J. (2012)
The cost of dominance: suppressing subordinate reproduction affects the reproductive success of dominant female banded mongooses. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 279, 619-624. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2011.1093
