Project…

Idea 1 Bequeathal: Question: Which offspring in a litter gets part of all of a mother’s territory? Hypotheses: Sex biased… supported Size biased.. Not supported.. Yet Most aggressive …

Idea 2… Parental care: Question: Is parental care equally allocated to each offspring? No? Hypotheses: *More parental care is allocated to larger… *More to the smaller, more weaker… *Aggressive obtain more care than parent wants…

Idea 3 Question: How aware are females of vacancies in nearby territories? Hypotheses: They take forays to “Check out what’s happening.” Call recognition. The noise of fights over free territory attracts them.

Data… Data set: sex, size, within litter size, (conflicts?) Aggressive behaviour Response to pre-recorded calls, fights.. distance from midden Time spent with offspring Pre-emergence parental care
