New paper alert! Pushing, bitting, and shoving lead to... cooperation? In meerkats, they do... By Christine Drea and collaborators.
@CarolineSheare, @CharliSDavies and @feldblumjoseph tell the story:

In some mammals, matriarchal status can be conferred with androgens. This study implicates androgen-mediated aggression as a mechanism for female sexual selection in meerkats https://t.co/3mmXhSdcN3 @dukeresearch

If you want the #behindthepaper info on the recent @NatureComms paper from the Drea lab involving female #meerkats, androgens and aggression then read our fantastic blog on The Dark Side of Cooperation by @CarolineSheare @FeldblumJoseph and myself 😃

Check out our awesome new paper on androgenic mechanisms of intrasexual competition in female meerkats in @NatureComms! https://t.co/iOP5Yb0QLz

This paper has been a long time in coming, and included a great group of collaborators, so really happy to see it finally published!

Have the privilege of working with so many amazing collaborators and am lucky to study the grandchildren of the TV show Meerkat Manor! Check out "The Dark Side of Cooperation" here https://t.co/Z2xT2RmAkE #behindthepaper

@emilykmaloney Congratulations!!!! You are amazing!

[Caroline Shearer @CarolineSheare]

@rlmcelreath Thank you so much for your reply. This all makes good sense, and I appreciate your insight. I will look through the example you shared and think about this more. Cheers!

[Caroline Shearer @CarolineSheare]

@rlmcelreath On a related note, is there a way to write nested random effect variables (e.g. socialgroup/litter/id; as opposed to crossed) using ulam function? I can code single-grouping variable multilevel models in ulam w/o issue; but haven't found info on nesting. Thx for any direction!
