| Popis: | AMONG mammals, the common mechanism of individual transfer between social groups is male emigration. While studying the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus Temminck) over a period of 2 yr, we have recorded four positive cases of female group emigration, three possible cases of single female emigration, and only one possible case of male group emigration. From this we conclude that female emigration is the primary mode of interpack transference in African wild dogs. The only other mammal for which this has been reported is the chimpanzee1. |
