The Mating Tactics and Spacing Patterns of Solitary Carnivores

  • Chapter
Carnivore Behavior, Ecology, and Evolution

Abstract

A majority of the carnivore species are primarily solitary, having very little contact with conspecifics (Gittleman, this volume). These solitary species have received less attention than the group-living species, which have attracted much interest (see reviews in Macdonald and Moehlman 1982; Macdonald 1983; Bekoff et al. 1984).
