Abstract
⺠Adult hamsters are able to interact socially with other adults of the same sex. ⺠Group-housing leads to social hierarchy in this solitary species. ⺠Social environment may create a reproductive skew, another feature of group-living species. ⺠Glucocorticoids participate in reproductive failure but are not its main proximal cause.
