Social intelligence in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta).
If the large brains and great intelligence characteristic of primates were favoured by selection pressures associated with life in complex societies, then cognitive abilities and nervous systems with primate-like attributes should have evolved convergently in non-primate mammals living in large, elaborate societies in which social dexterity enhances individual fitness. The societies of spotted ...
متن کاملPulmonary infection due to Mycobacterium goodii in a spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) from South Africa.
We report a case of pyogranulomatous pneumonia due to infection with Mycobacterium goodii in an adult female spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta). The lungs of the animal showed consolidated, granulomatous lesions, and they were extensively and severely infiltrated. Polymerase chain reaction sequencing of isolated crude lung tissue DNA, and boiled lung culture samples, all confirmed that the causati...
متن کاملTopography of photoreceptors and retinal ganglion cells in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta).
The spatial distributions of photoreceptors and retinal ganglion cells were examined in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta). Two populations of cones were identified by immunocytochemical labeling. The hyena retina contains approximately 2.3 million middle- to long-wavelength sensitive (M/L) cones that reach peak densities of about 7,500/mm(2) in the vicinity of the optic nerve head. A sparser ...
متن کاملOntogenetic change in skull morphology and mechanical advantage in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta).
Weaning represents a challenging transition for young mammals, one particularly difficult for species coping with extreme conditions during feeding. Spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) experience such extreme conditions imposed by intense feeding competition during which the ability to consume large quantities of food quickly is highly advantageous. As adult spotted hyenas have massive skulls spec...
متن کاملSexually dimorphic patterns of space use throughout ontogeny in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta)
Observational and telemetry data were used in a geographic information system database to document the ontogenetic development of sexually dimorphic patterns of space use among free-living spotted hyenas Crocuta crocuta in Kenya. No measures of space use were sexually dimorphic among den-dwelling cubs, nor were sex differences apparent among hyenas that had ceased using dens for shelter until t...
