• Prey preferences and dietary overlap amongst Africa's large predators (2008, background): “…direct intraguild predation (Caro 1994; Laurenson 1994; Laurenson 1995; Laurenson et al. 1995), which leads to a negative relationship between recruitment and lion density (Durant et al. 2004; Hayward et al. 2007b) and causes cheetahs to find refuges from competition and predation (Durant 1998).”
• Sociality of the dispersing sex: The nature of social bonds in West African female chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes (2009, unknown): “…individual well-being (Seeman 1996; Taylor et al. 2000) and reduce stress (Engh et al. 2006), so that good social integration may enhance individual survival and reproductive success (e.g. Koenig 1994; Moses & Millar 1994; Lambin & Yoccoz 1998; Silk et al. 2003; Durant et al. 2004; Ruan & Wu 2008).”
• Sociality in cats: A comparative review (2016, background): “As adolescents, cheetahs are more likely to survive in groups than as singletons, chiefly because of reduced predation by lions but also because they are able to offset some of the costs of group living by capturing larger prey (Durant et al., 2004).”
• The social dynamics of southern resident killer whales and conservation implications for this endangered population (2009, background): “Long-term observational studies have provided unique insight into the social structure of groups within several large mammal populations (e.g. Packer et al. 1990; Baird & Whitehead 2000; Fernando & Lande 2000; Durant et al. 2004; Sinha et al. 2005; Wittemyer et al. 2005; Sundaresan et al. 2007), and”
