Janneke Rubow, March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Vocal communication is important in social vertebrates, particularly those for whom dense vegetation obscures visual signals. Vocal signals often convey secondary information to facilitate rapid and appropriate responses. This function is vital in long-distance communication. The long-distance recruitment vocalisations of dwarf mongooses (Helogale parvula) provide an ideal opportunity to study informative cues in acoustic communication. This study examined the information conveyed by two recruitment calls given in snake encounter and isolation contexts, and whether dwarf mongooses are able to respond differently on the basis of these cues. Vocalisations were collected opportunistically from four wild groups of dwarf mongooses. The acoustic parameters of recruitment calls were then analysed for distinction between contexts within recruitment calls in general, distinction within isolation calls between groups, sexes and individuals, and the individuality of recruitment calls in comparison to dwarf mongoose contact calls.

  • Social Mongoose Vocal Communication: Insights Into the Emergence of Linguistic Combinatoriality
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2017 Social Mongoose Vocal Communication: Insights into the Emergence of Linguistic Combinatoriality Collier, Katie Abstract: Duality of patterning, language’s ability to combine sounds on two levels, phonology and syntax, is considered one of human language’s defining features, yet relatively little is known about its origins. One way to investigate this is to take a comparative approach, contrasting combinatoriality in animal vocal communication systems with phonology and syntax in human language. In my the- sis, I took a comparative approach to the evolution of combinatoriality, carrying out both theoretical and empirical research. In the theoretical domain, I identified some prevalent misunderstandings in re- search on the emergence of combinatoriality that have propagated across disciplines. To address these misconceptions, I re-analysed existing examples of animal call combinations implementing insights from linguistics. Specifically, I showed that syntax-like combinations are more widespread in animal commu- nication than phonology-like sequences, which, combined with the absence of phonology in some human languages, suggested that syntax may have evolved before phonology. Building on this theoretical work, I empirically explored call combinations in two species of social mongooses. I first investigated social call combinations in meerkats (Suricata suricatta), demonstrating that call combinations represented a non-negligible component of the meerkat vocal communication system and could be used flexibly across various social contexts. Furthermore, I discussed a variety of mechanisms by which these combinations could be produced. Second, I considered call combinations in predation contexts.

    Porini Camps Mammal Guide By Rustom Framjee Preface This mammal guide provides some interesting facts about the mammals that are seen by guests staying at Porini Camps. In addition, there are many species of birds and reptiles which are listed separately from this guide. Many visitors are surprised at the wealth of wildlife and how close you can get to the animals without disturbing them. Because the camps operate on a low tourist density basis (one tent per 700 acres) the wildlife is not ‘crowded’ by many vehicles and you can see them in a natural state - hunting, socialising, playing, giving birth and fighting to defend their territories. Some are more difficult to see than others, and some can only be seen when you go on a night drive. All Porini camps are unfenced and located in game rich areas and you will see much wildlife even in and around the camps. The Maasai guides who accompany you on all game drives and walks are very well trained and qualified professional guides. They are passionate and enthusiastic about their land and its wildlife and really want to show you as much as they can. They have a wealth of knowledge and you are encouraged to ask them more about what you see. They know many of the animals individually and can tell you stories about them. If you are particularly interested in something, let them know and they will try to help you see it. While some facts and figures are from some of the references listed, the bulk of information in this guide has come from the knowledge of guides and camp staff.

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.

  • The Effect of Grazing on Aardwolves and How Farmers in Namibia Perceive the Aardwolf
    The effect of grazing on Aardwolves and how farmers in Namibia perceive the Aardwolf Jessica Fagerudd Arbetsgruppen för Tropisk Ekologi Minor Field Study 114 Committee of Tropical Ecology Uppsala University, Sweden September 2005 Uppsala The effect of grazing on Aardwolves and how farmers in Namibia perceive the Aardwolf Jessica Fagerudd Master Thesis in Zoo ecology, 20 p, Spring 2004 Department of Animal Ecology, Centre for Evolutionary Biology (EBC) Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden Supervisors: Professor Mats Björklund and Doctor Jennifer Lalley Abstract The distribution of the aardwolf (Proteles cristatus) is entirely dependent on the presence of termites, on which it feeds almost exclusively. Farmlands that are grazed by livestock are often suitable habitats for termites and hence for the aardwolf. However, many farmlands are nowadays being intensely grazed and this, together with difficult climate conditions, can act as a threat against the biodiversity and the wildlife, including the aardwolf. To test if the grazing of livestock affects this animal, a comparison of the relative population density of aardwolves was made between an ungrazed reserve and a grazed farm in the semi-desert of Namibia. The study was performed between March and May 2004. The results imply that grazing at a medium level favours the aardwolf. It also seems as intense grazing negatively affects termites, and if that is the case, the aardwolf would be negatively affected as well. Another possible threat against the aardwolf is that it sometimes is being killed because of the misbelief that it attacks livestock. To get an idea of this problem a limited number of interviews were done with farmers in the northern part of Namibia.
