Selfish partners: resource partitioning in male coalitions of Asiatic lions [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology, 2017
Behavioral plasticity within species is adaptive which directs survival traits to take multiple pathways under varying conditions. Male-male cooperation is an evolutionary strategy often exhibiting an array of alternatives between and within species. African male lions coalesce to safeguard territories and mate acquisition.
