Social and ecological determinants of fission-fusion dynamics in the spotted hyaena (2008, background): “From 1988 to 1999, the Talek clan defended a stable group territory covering an area of 62 km2 (Boydston et al. 2001).”
Reproductive skew among males in a female-dominated mammalian society (2002, background): “9% of all locations at which adult Talek females are found fall within the clan’s territorial boundaries (Boydston et al., 2001).”
Greetings promote cooperation and reinforce social bonds among spotted hyaenas (2011, methodology): “Adopting the methods of East et al. (1993), we first replicate their work by documenting the occurrence of greetings among members of a single, large social group of spotted hyaenas in the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya.”
Scent marking within and between groups of wild banded mongooses (2010, background): “Although a large body of evidence suggests that same-sex intruders are specifically targeted with actual physical aggression (spotted hyaena, Boydston et al., 2001), determining whether scent marks placed in the absence of intruders were deposited for territory defence, mate defence or both is…”
Rank-related partner choice in the fission–fusion society of the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) (2007, unknown): “…the fitness of dominants, and this is true among Crocuta; dominants need subordinate allies during cooperative defense of the clan’s territory and carcasses against lions or other hyenas (e.g., Boydston et al. 2001), and when hunting certain types of ungulates (Kruuk 1972; Holekamp et al. 1997b).”
Correlates of territorial boundary patrol behaviour in wild chimpanzees (2005, background): “Finally, territorial boundary patrol behaviour is unusual among gregarious mammals, having been documented only in chimpanzees and some social carnivores such as hyaenas and wolves (Sillero-Zubiri & Macdonald 1998; Boydston et al. 2001; Mech & Boitani 2003).”
Territorial defense in a group-living solitary forager: who, where, against whom? (2004, background): “…cichlids (Schradin and Lamprecht 2000), the Tasmanian native hen (Gallinula mortierii, Putland and Goldizen 1998), spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta, Boyston et al. 2001), callitrichid primates (Anzenberger 1985; Lazaro-Perea 2001), tree shrews (Tupaia glis, Kawamichi and Kawamichi 1979), and house…”
INDIVIDUAL VARIATION IN SPACE USE BY FEMALE SPOTTED HYENAS (2003, methodology): “The boundaries of the Talek clan’s territory were digitized as a separate overlay coverage (Boydston et al. 2001), as were the locations of all dens used by the hyenas during the study period.”
The effect of prey abundance and foraging tactics on the population dynamics of a social, territorial carnivore, the spotted hyena (2005, background): “However, as intruders are encountered regularly in the Mara (Boydston et al. 2001), it is possible that seasonal fluctuations in prey due to migratory movements of herbivores (Holekamp et al.”
Ecological and social factors affect the occurrence and outcomes of intergroup encounters in chimpanzees (2012, unknown): “As a result, individual participation in intergroup contests is expected to vary according to factors such as sex, age, rank, reproductive status and the particular resource at stake (Boydston et al. 2001; Cooney 2002; Kitchen & Beehner 2007; Bonanni et al. 2010; Mares et al. 2011).”
