The Lion Research Center is led by Craig Packer, and is arguably the top research group on lion behavior. The website has an extensive publication list (all one-click-pdfs) on virtually all the components of the life history of lions.
My favorite set of experiments were the choice experiments with stuffed lion toys, showing that dark manes are both more intimidating to males and attractive to females. There are a few videos as well!
