Spatial representation of shelter locations in meerkats, Suricata suricatta

Article Abstract:

The spatial representation and potential mechanisms that explains the knowledge of shelter location in meerkats, Suricata suricatta, living under high predation pressure is investigated. The results reveal that meerkats know in which direction to run when an alarm call is given, without scanning the area for visual or olfactory cues of shelters.

Frequency of social play does not affect dispersal partnerships in wild meerkats

Article Abstract:

An aspect of the social-bonding hypothesis, which proposes that social play strengthens long-term bonds between individuals, enhancing future alliances is evaluated. Results reveal that the strengthening of long-term bonds between potential dispersal partners is not the function of social play in meerkats.
