The paper decomposes meerkat alarm-calling behaviour into threat discrimination and response escalation to study context-dependent predation risk perception.

The paper examines mother-offspring association patterns in red deer, finding that prolonged association benefits female calves and yearlings but may reduce adult lifespan.

The study examines how burrow habitat preferences influence space use in Kalahari meerkats, finding that burrow location strongly anchors movement patterns despite suboptimal foraging conditions.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.
