  • Aardwolf population diversity and phylogenetic positioning inferred using complete mitochondrial genomes 
    Westbury, Michael V.; De Cahsan, Binia; Dalerum, Fredrik; Noren, Karin; Hofreiter, Michael (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2019)
    The aardwolf (Proteles cristata) is a unique, insectivorous species of the family Hyaenidae. It occupies a disjunct range in eastern and southern Africa and is possibly a remaining member of a historical dog-like hyaena ...
  • Behavioural and endocrine correlates to the aardwolf mating system 
    Marneweck, David G.; Cameron, Elissa Z.; Ganswindt, Andre; Dalerum, Fredrik (Elsevier, 2015-01)
    It is now widely recognized that mating systems contain both social and genetic components, where social components describe patterns of social associations while genetic components reflect patterns of mating activities. ...
  • Extension of the diet of an extreme foraging specialist, the aardwolf (Proteles cristata) 
    De Vries, J.L.; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Bateman, Philip W.; Cameron, Elissa Z.; Dalerum, Fredrik (Zoological Society of Southern Africa, 2011-04)
    The aardwolf, Proteles cristata, is a highly specialized myrmecophagous carnivore that feeds almost exclusively on termites of the genus Trinervitermes. Here we report data from an ongoing analysis of aardwolf diet, where ...
  • Reproductive endocrinology of zoo-housed aardwolves 
    Marneweck, David G.; Ganswindt, Andre; Rhodes, Stephanie; Bellem, Astrid; Bryant, Jocelyn; Wielebnowski, Nadja; Dalerum, Fredrik (Mammal Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2013-02)
    Knowledge regarding the relationship between endocrine parameters and reproductive activity can offer important insights into how social and environmental factors influence the reproductive success of mammals. Although ...
  • Temporal patterns of den use suggest polygamous mating patterns in an obligate monogamous mammal 
    Kotze, Robynne; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Cameron, Elissa Z.; Low de Vries, J.; Marneweck, David G.; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Dalerum, Fredrik (Elsevier, 2012)
    Mating systems in animal societies contain both social and genetic components. Deviations between these components may have important ramifications for our understanding of the evolution of animal reproductive strategies ...
