Oxytocin modulates mammalian social behavior; however, behavioral responses to intranasal oxytocin can vary across species and contexts. The complexity of interactions increases with group dynamics, the impacts on both within- between-group contexts are unknown. We tested effects administration non-social behaviors within in-group out-group in African lions. hypothesized that, post administration, lions would be closer proximity fellow members, whereas stimuli could either produce a...
Key population processes are sometimes driven by male dynamics, but these drivers often overlooked because of the scale over which they operate. Lions (Panthera leo) provide an ideal case study for investigating factors governing dynamics and their influence on sustainability. display sexually selected infanticide, resident males must defend offspring from nomads that may have dispersed long distances; affecting male–male competition large spatial scales can wide consequences. We report here...
The study of large carnivores in semi-arid ecosystems presents inherent challenges due to their low densities, extensive home ranges, and elusive nature. We explore the potential for synthesis traditional knowledge (i.e. art tracking) modern technology address conservation wildlife research these challenging environments. Our focuses on African lion ( Panthera leo ) Central Kalahari region Botswana as a model system demonstrate this integrative approach. Combining GPS tracking San trackers’...
Interactions between density and environmental conditions have important effects on vital rates consequently population dynamics can take complex pathways in species whose demography is strongly influenced by social context, such as the African lion, Panthera leo. In populations of species, response to vary depending structure (e.g. group size or composition). However, studies assessing dependence lions other seldom considered multiple socially explicit measures density, and-more...
Variation in vital demographic (e.g., survival) rates of males can influence population dynamics, but the male segment is frequently ignored ecological studies mammals. Using a multistate capture–mark–recapture model and 44 years (1962–2006) data from 17 habitat patches, we investigated spatial temporal variation age-specific survival yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris) Colorado. We hypothesized that apparent rate juvenile would show greatest as younger animals are more susceptible...
Context Managed wild lions (Panthera leo) are found in smaller (<1000 km2), fenced protected areas that hold a substantial portion of South Africa’s lion population. Because the natural population control mechanisms compromised within these properties, managers must actively growth rates. Fecundity is used by wildlife managers, but long-term, empirical data on impact and consequences such interventions lacking. Aims The aim present study was to assess effectiveness two methods...
Immigrant women are in a vulnerable position during labour and birth due to language barriers. Communication with who do not master the host country's is difficult for midwives, but there few studies about midwives' experiences.To explore Norwegian experiences of encountering immigrant native language.A hermeneutic lifeworld approach. Interviews eight midwives working at specialist clinics hospital maternity wards Norway.The findings were interpreted based on four concepts theory "Birth...
Environment-density interactions have important effects on vital rates and population dynamics, especially in species whose demography is strongly influenced by social context, such as the African lion Panthera leo. In populations of species, response to density can vary depending structure (e.g. group size or composition). However, studies assessing dependence lions other seldom considered multiple socially-explicit measures density, and—more particularly for lions—of nomadic males....
Oxytocin modulates mammalian social behavior; however, behavioral responses to intranasal oxytocin can vary across species and contexts. The complexity of interactions increases with group dynamics, the impacts on both within- between-group contexts are unknown. African lions highly social, living in large groups forming lifelong egalitarian bonds related as well unrelated individuals, yet they also territorial, making them a good model for investigation. We tested effects administration...
