Intersexual conflict influences female reproductive success in a female-dispersing primate [PDF]
, 2019 In group-living mammals, individual efforts to maximize reproductive success result in conflicts and compromises between the sexes. Females utilize counterstrategies to minimize the costs of sexual coercion by males, but few studies have examined the ...

Survival and divergence in a small group: The extraordinary genomic history of the endangered Apennine brown bear stragglers [PDF]
, 2017 About 100 km east of Rome, in the central Apennine Mountains, a critically endangered population of ∼50 brown bears live in complete isolation. Mating outside this population is prevented by several 100 km of bear-free territories.

Female philopatry and its social benefits among Bornean orangutans [PDF]
, 2018 Female philopatry in mammals is generally associated with ecological and sometimes social benefits, and often with dispersal by males. Previous studies on dispersal patterns of orangutans, largely non-gregarious Asian great apes, have yielded conflicting

Insights into reproduction and behavior of the smalltooth sawfish Pristis pectinata
Endangered Species Research, 2017 Sawfishes (Family Pristidae) constitute one of the most threatened families of marine fish, and substantial management efforts are required to stabilize and recover their populations worldwide. Philopatry is common in marine animals, including sharks and

The effect of relatedness and pack size on territory overlap in African wild dogs
Movement Ecology, 2017 Background Spacing patterns mediate competitive interactions between conspecifics, ultimately increasing fitness. The degree of territorial overlap between neighbouring African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) packs varies greatly, yet the role of factors ...
