Ecological and social factors affect the occurrence and outcomes of intergroup encounters in chimpanzees (2012, unknown): “In banded mongooses, Mungos mungo, focal groups fight with other groups more frequently when the focal group’s females are in oestrus (Cant et al. 2002).”
Dear enemies or nasty neighbors? Causes and consequences of variation in the responses of group-living species to territorial intrusions (2018, background): “For instance, physical contests can result in injury or even death (Grinnell et al. 1995; Cant et al. 2002).”
Group composition effects on aggressive interpack interactions of gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park (2015, background): “Many gregarious mammals aggressively defend group territories (Rood 1983; Doolan and MacDonald 1996; Watts and Mitani 2001) with the contest winners usually having numerical superiority over rivals (McComb et al. 1994; Gese 2001; Cant et al. 2002; Mosser and Packer 2009).”
Scent marking within and between groups of wild banded mongooses (2010, background): “Despite this, mongooses are highly territorial and frequently interact aggressively with neighbours at the borders of their home range (Cant et al., 2002; Müller & Manser, 2007).”
