The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has garnered interest recently as a powerful
model for the future of neuroscience research. Much of this excitement has centered on the …

We reviewed papers that compared intraspecific variation in territoriality vs. alternative forms
of spatial or behavioral organization with three goals:(1) to discover which ecological …

Theory predicts that small populations may be driven to extinction by random fluctuations in
demography and loss of genetic diversity through drift. However, population size is a poor …

Human-wildlife conflict is a major issue in conservation. As people encroach into natural
habitats, and as conservation efforts restore wildlife to areas where they may have been …

African wild dogs are 20–25 kg social carnivores whose major prey are ungulates ranging
from 15 to 200 kg. In the Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania, wild dog pack size ranged from …

Population dynamics and animal behaviour are two subjects that have developed almost
independently, despite widespread acceptance of the idea that they must be related. The …

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are endangered largely because their population‐density
is low under all conditions. Interspecific competition with larger carnivores may be a factor …

Cooperation and social support are the major advantages of living in social groups.
However, there are also disadvantages arising from social conflict and competition. Social …

The extent to which vertebrate carnivores shift facultatively between predation and
scavenging has recently been emphasized. Potentially, all carnivores have to do is wait until …

Both species and populations within species display variation in spacing patterns, and the
number of published reports documenting this variation is increasing rapidly. The potential …
