Association patterns of African elephants in all-male groups: the role of age and genetic relatedness (2011, background): “Despite the rarity of strong and stable bonds between males, most polygynous mammals show segregation between sexes, resulting in the formation of all-male groups for most of the year (Miquelle et al. 1992; Kie & Bowyer 1999; Mooring et al. 2003; Turner et al. 2005; Shannon et al. 2008; MacFarlane &”
VIGILANCE, PREDATION RISK, AND THE ALLEE EFFECT IN DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP (2004, background): “Because bighorn sheep are sexually segregated during most of the year (Mooring et al. 2003), the oldest and largest males tend to be found in the smallest groups and with the greatest inter-individual distances.”
Potential causes and life-history consequences of sexual size dimorphism in mammals (2005, background): “However, while many comprehensive studies have been carried out on herbivorous ungulates, there is a distinct lack of study into habitat segregation in other mammalian taxa and the research of Blundell et al. (2002) on river otters, and also Mooring et al. (2003) on desert bighorn sheep, indicate ”
No risk, no gain: effects of crop-raiding and genetic diversity on body size in male elephants (2011, background): “1992), elk (Winnie and Creel 2007), Dall’s sheep (Corti and Schackleton 2002), bighorn sheep (Berger 1991; Mooring et al. 2003), mountain sheep (Bleich et al.”
