Aggression, boldness, and exploration personality traits in the subterranean naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) disperser morphs

Majelantle, Tshepiso Lesedi; Ganswindt, Andre; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Hart, Daniel William (MDPI, 2022-11-09)

Animal personality traits (consistent behavioral differences between individuals in their behavior across time and/or situation) affect individual fitness through facets, such as dispersal. In eusocial naked mole-rat ...
Assessment of craniometric sexual dimorphism and ontogenetic variation in invasive Rattus norvegicus and R. rattus from urban and peri-urban areas of Gauteng Province, South Africa

Ringani, Gordon V.; Zengeya, Tsungai A.; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Chimimba, Christian Timothy (De Gruyter, 2022-06)

We evaluated craniometric sexual dimorphism and ontogenetic (age) variation in invasive Rattus norvegicus and R. rattus from urban and peri-urban areas of Gauteng Province, South Africa, using univariate and multivariate ...
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 ...
Relationships between livestock damages and large carnivore densities in Sweden

Dalerum, Fredrik; Selby, Liam O.K.; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner (Frontiers Media, 2020-01-10)

Promoting co-existence between humans and their physical and ecological environment, including wildlife, has been given an increased importance due to a recent shift of society to become environmentally sustainable. ...
Spatial and temporal dimensions to the taxonomic diversity of arthropods in an arid grassland savannah

Dalerum, Fredrik; De Vries, J. Low; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Cameron, Elissa Z. (Elsevier, 2017-09)

Quantifying the drivers of biodiversity variation is a key topic in contemporary ecology. While the geographic distribution of biodiversity is broadly determined by water and energy, local environmental conditions may be ...
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 ...
