Selective foraging on woody plant species by the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) in Telemark, Norway (2006, methodology): “Information on the location of territory borders was obtained from radio-tracking data collected in 2000 (see details in Sharpe & Rosell, 2003; Herr & Rosell, 2004; Campbell et al., 2005).”
Did Neanderthals and other early humans sing? Seeking the biological roots of music in the territorial advertisements of primates, lions, hyenas, and wolves (2009, background): “Both the North American and Eurasian beaver, for example, live in family groups where males and females of all ages mark territory boundaries at scent mound sites near the water’s edge ( Campbell, Rosell, Nolet, & Dijkstra, 2005; Rosell & Nolet, 1997).”
Group territoriality and the benefits of sociality in the African lion, Panthera leo (2009, background): “Although numerical advantage is often implicit in studies of group-territorial animals (e.g. Stacey & Ligon 1991; Lazaro-Perea 2001; Campbell et al. 2005), past research has not actually confirmed whether larger groups are more successful in territorial competition, primary because samples sizes…”
