The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, methodology): “Using data from three different sites, Creel & Creel (2002) demonstrated that the number of surviving pups is positively related to the number of adults in packs.”
Aggression and submission reflect reproductive conflict between females in cooperatively breeding meerkats Suricata suricatta (2006, background): “It is commonly suggested that aggression from dominant females plays an important role in suppressing and interfering with subordinate reproduction (Creel et al. 1992; Bennett and Faulkes 2000; Creel and Creel 2002).”
A local nearest-neighbor convex-hull construction of home ranges and utilization distributions (2004, methodology): “This method is still widely employed (Meulman and Klomp 1999, Baker 2001, Creel and Creel 2002, Rurik and Macdonald 2003) despite recent recognition that it provides an extremely poor fit to data when the home range of an animal or the distribution of a population is strongly non-convex (Burgman…”

Economic Profitability of Social Predation Among Wild Chimpanzees: Individual Variation Promotes Cooperation (2008, background): “Keywords: by-product mutualism; chimpanzee; cooperativ Correspo Universi gilby@fa School o MMC 30 0003e3 e hunting; individual variation; payoff currency; predation Social predation (hunting in groups) presents a collective Packer & Ruttan 1988; Creel & Creel 2002), meaning that action paradox.”
Natural behavioural biology as a risk factor in carnivore welfare: How analysing species differences could help zoos improve enclosures § (2007, background): “Similar pictures emerge looking at the natural lifestyle of more terrestrial wide-ranging carnivores: African wild dogs, for example, rarely spend two consecutive nights in the same location before moving on to use other parts of their range (Creel and Creel, 2002), while wolves likewise remain in o”
The ecology of stress: effects of the social environment (2013, background): “In other species, group structures are more complex and subordinates encompass a wide range of ages and degrees of genetic relatedness, including immigrants from other groups (e.g. in African wild dogs; Creel & Creel 2002).”
Space use in lions, Panthera leo, in the Selous Game Reserve: social and ecological factors (2002, methodology): “Habitat maps were originally created in Idrisi (see Creel and Creel 2002) and using this program for these analyses thus proved easier.”
Trade-offs between extraterritorial prospecting and helping in a cooperative mammal (2005, background): “Helpers are known to conduct extraterritorial prospecting forays in many cooperative vertebrates (e.g. Koenig & Stacey 1990; Woolfenden & Fitzpatrick 1990; Walters et al. 1992; Doolan & Macdonald 1996; Sillero-Zubiri et al. 1996; Creel & Creel 2002).”

Comparative tests of reproductive skew in male primates: the roles of demographic factors and incomplete control (2006, unknown): “…studies in social mammals supported both the concession [e.g., dwarf mongooses (Helogale parvula), Creel and Waser 1991; wild dogs (Lycaon pictus), Creel and Creel 2002; but see CluttonBrock 1998] and tug-of-war models [e.g., meerkats (Suricata suricatta), Clutton-Brock et al. 2001; rhesus…”
Body Size Overlap, Habitat Partitioning and Living Space Requirements of Terrestrial Vertebrate Predators: Implications for the Paleoecology of Large Theropod Dinosaurs (2002, background): “Obtaining food may require killing dangerous prey, and once food is obtained it often must be defended from others of the predators kind as well as carnivores of other species (Palomares and Caro, 1999; van Valkenburgh, 2001; Creel and Creel, 2002).”
Niche partitioning and species coexistence in a Neotropical felid assemblage. (2010, background): “It is also frequently the case that, as a result of interference competition, subordinate species are restricted to suboptimal habitats (Creel and Creel, 2002; Tannerfeldt et al., 2002; Macdonald et al., 2004; Mitchell and Banks, 2005).”

Large predators and their prey in a southern African savanna: a predator's size determines its prey size range (2004, background): “However, in the absence of kleptoparasitism from other guild members wild dogs would be expected to kill larger prey (Lamprecht 1978; Carbone, du Toit & Gordon 1997) and wild dog packs are indeed capable of pulling down adult zebras, for example (Malcolm & Van Lawick 1975; Creel & Creel 2002).”
