Collective Self-Assessment in Banded Mongoose Intergroup Contests

Charlie W Rayner, Patrick A. Green, K L Hunt, Faye J. Thompson, Francis Mwanguhya, Michael A. Cant, D W E Sankey

This study finds that banded mongoose groups use collective self-assessment rather than mutual assessment during intergroup contests, escalating conflicts based on their own group strength.

A landscape of intergroup conflict shapes den site choice in banded mongooses

Daniel W. E. Sankey, Tommy Collins, Darren Paul Croft, Francis Mwanguhya, Dan W. Franks, Patrick A. Green, Kingsley L Hunt, Rufus A. Johnstone, Elizabeth Preston, Faye J. Thompson, Michael A. Cant

This study shows that banded mongooses choose den sites based on the potential risks and rewards of intergroup conflict, with non-babysitting groups taking greater risks by denning near rival territories.

Fitness incentives to male fighters undermine fighting performance in intergroup contests

Patrick A. Green, Daniel W. E. Sankey, T. A. Collins, Francis Mwanguhya, Hazel J. Nichols, Michael A. Cant, Faye J. Thompson

The paper examines how personal fitness incentives in wild banded mongooses affect intergroup conflict outcomes, finding that winning fights does not always translate to higher paternity success.
