Spatial structure and land-cover use in a low-density Mediterranean population of Eurasian badgers (2004, background): “Kruuk (1978) identified two predictions, namely that territory size would be determined by patch dispersion, whereas group size would be determined (often independently) by patch richness (see reviews in Woodroffe and Macdonald 1993; Johnson et al. 2000).”
The distribution of Eurasian badger, Meles meles, setts in a high‐density area: field observations contradict the sett dispersion hypothesis (2004, unknown): “(Johnson et al. 2000), as well as rodents, insectivores and”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “For badgers in the United Kingdom, which feed mainly on earthworms , sociality may be a response to a patchy distribution of shareable resources ( Johnson et al. 2000).”
Environmental correlates of badger social spacing across Europe (2002, background): “In these studies, therefore, intraspecific variation in life-history traits serves only as a potential source of error (Foster, 1999; Johnson et al., 2000).”
Spatial organization, group living and ecological correlates in low‐density populations of Eurasian badgers, Meles meles (2002, methodology): “Ecological Society, Journal of Animal Ecology, 71, 497‐512 et al. 1992; Silva et al. 1993; Woodroffe & Macdonald 1993; Johnson, Macdonald & Dickman 2000 ).”
Huddling in groups leads to daily energy savings in free‐living African Four‐Striped Grass Mice, Rhabdomys pumilio (2006, background): “This may enable sufficient resources to be accrued from the environment (Alexander 1974; Macdonald 1980; Johnson, Macdonald & Dickman 2000 ) while energy costs are minimized (Ostner 2002; Rhind 2003).”
The American mink: The triumph and tragedy of adaptation out of context (2003, background): “More recently—and ironically carried out initially through fur farms; the source of this invasive species—the focus of research has been on the unusual reproductive physiology of the mink and its implications for mating systems and spacing patterns (Yamaguchi et al. in press; Johnson et al. 2000).”
Patchwork planet: the resource dispersion hypothesis, society, and the ecology of life (2015, background): “However, plotting these relationships for the mustelids, social species often (though not always) fell below the fitted regression line, suggesting that they are able to coexist in an area smaller than one would expect on the basis of their (mean group sizes’) metabolic needs alone (Johnson et al., ”
