A study on the association of alpha males and females during the non-breeding season in wild Capuchin monkeys examined whether alpha males are the preferred mate for females and, secondly, whether female-alpha status and relationship to the alpha-male can be explained through the individual characteristics and or social network of the female.

O-Six (named after the year of her birth). [3] was for several years [2010 - 2012] the dominant breeding female of the Lamar Canyon pack in Yellowstone National Park.Born in 2006 in the Agate Creek pack to Agate Creek Wolves #113M (born a Chief Joseph Wolf in 1997) and Wolf #472F (born a Druid Peak wolf in 2000), [4] [5] [6] she was principally known by the year of her birth.

A high-ranking male mandrill advertises his status with bright facial coloration. [1]In the zoological field of ethology, a dominance hierarchy (formerly and colloquially called a pecking order) is a type of social hierarchy that arises when members of animal social groups interact, creating a ranking system.
Among pack-living wolves, alpha wolves are the genetic parents of most cubs in the pack. Such access to mating females creates strong selective pressure for intra-sex competition. [21] Wolves show deference to the alpha pair in their pack by allowing them to allocate the distribution of food, typically preferentially feeding the youngest wolves.
926F became a very popular subject for Yellowstone wolf watchers and photographers. [9] She was one of the stars of the “wolf-watching mecca” of Yellowstone [10] and was called “Queen of Wolves”. [11] In 2018, 926F ceded the role of alpha female to her daughter, who produced the first surviving pups in three years.

Wolves may live in extended family groups. To take prey larger than themselves, the African wild dog, the dhole, and the gray wolf depend on their jaws as they cannot use their forelimbs to grapple with prey. They work together as a pack consisting of an alpha pair and their offspring from the current and previous years. [21]
