Territoriality and Scent Marking Behavior of African Wild Dogs in Northern Botswana
… on neighboring packs of wild dogs, and collected scent marks from known individuals for chemical analyses and behavioral experiments.</p> <p>To test whether wild dogs were territorial, I used VHF and GPS telemetry and direct observations. Wild dogs in northern Botswana exhibited territorial …

The use of a novel scent enrichment to improve captive primate welfare and its potential application to conservation breeding
Scent-marking behaviours are common across vertebrates, having roles in territoriality, sex identification and advertising fertility. Lemurs which rely on olfactory communication are a conservation priority and modern zoos have a role in contributing to their conservation with captive breeding …

Behavior and communication in the short bare-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)
… grooming and resting, exploration, attention, scent marking, vocalizations, social contact, aggression, retreat, and sexual. Solitary <u>Monodelphis</u> explored, groomed, and scent marked. Familiar male-female pairs displayed less aggression than unfamiliar male-female pairs. Non-estrous …

Chemical communication in the European otter, Lutra lutra
European otter (Lutra lutra) scent marks (spraint and anal sac secretion material) from captive and wild animals were analysed using solvent extraction and solid phase micro extraction (SPME). An ageing study (using SPME) mapped spraint chemical composition changes following deposition and how low …

Chemical and Behavioral Ecology of the Coastal Giant Salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus)
… salamanders. Both physical interactions and scent-marking are vital components to the establishment of territories and influence dispersion of individuals. However, little is known about the terrestrial interactions of many salamander species, particularly that of the Coastal Giant Salamander …

Genetically based social communication in an inbred group-living wild mammal
… banded mongoose. Banded mongooses are prolific scent markers that use secretions from different organs to communicate both within and between groups, as well as intra- and intersexually. Their exceptional breeding system, cooperative behavior and inbreeding levels make them the ideal target for …

Mechanisms facilitating coexistence between leopards (Panthera pardus) and their competitors in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
… my thesis also informs on the optimal scent marking strategies used by leopards to communicate with conspecifics, presumably, in part, to facilitate territory maintenance. Specifically, leopards invested more in maintaining scent marks at home range boundaries and scent marked at higher …

Territoriality and habitat selection of feral pigs on Fort Benning, Georgia, USA
… the need for territory maintenance (patrolling, scent-marking) may mask changes in habitat selection based solely on resource availability. Territorial behavior in feral pigs could influence population density by limiting access to reproductive space. Removal strategies that: 1) match …

The Asian Palm Civet: Fundamental Baseline Findings in Ecology, Captive Husbandry and Effects of Trade in Civet Coffee
… recorded locomotive behaviour terrestrially. Scent marking behaviour was recorded in six species of mesocarnivore (Paradoxurus musangus, Prionailurus bengalensis, Melogale orientalis, Martes flavigula, Herpestes javanicus and Canis familiaris) and showed mutualism for scent site yet no …
