the other place this kind of signalling occurs in packs where senior animals don't want to lose status, weakness leading to challenge by up and coming animals.

I goggled your term and read the wiki link which was useful.

Perhaps because the underlying behaviour (hide all weakness) has intra- and inter species meanings that it's never been categorised or considered as one thing?
