Social and ecological determinants of fission-fusion dynamics in the spotted hyaena (2008, background): “In Tanzania and Namibia, hyaenas redistribute themselves from less profitable areas to more profitable areas in response to long-term changes in prey abundance (Trinkel et al. 2004; Höner et al. 2005).”
Paleoecology of the large carnivore guild from the late Pleistocene of Argentina (2006, background): “Furthermore, the positive relationship between carnivore density and prey abundance was found for several carnivores in different hab− itats (e.g., Bertram 1979; Handy and Biggot 1979; Macdon− ald 1983; East 1984; Creel et al. 2001; Fuller and Sievert 2001; Carbone and Gittleman 2002; Höner et al. 2”
Daily Patterns of Activity in the Spotted Hyena (2007, background): “Although low-ranking female spotted hyenas range more widely than high-ranking females (Boydston et al. 2003a; Honer et al. 2005), we found no rank-related variation in movement rate or activity levels among the females followed here.”
Greetings promote cooperation and reinforce social bonds among spotted hyaenas (2011, background): “Feeding competition is reduced seasonally when migratory ungulates are present with resident herds (Holekamp et al. 1996; Höner et al. 2005; Smith et al. 2008).”
