Genetic structure of lions (Panthera leo L.) in the Selous Game Reserve: implications for the evolution of sociality by Spong, G., Stone, J., Creel, S., Björklund, M.

“…We use 14 microsatellites to examine the genetic structure of a lion (Panthera leo L.) population in southern Tanzania. Heterozygosity levels were high (0.75 ±…”

Toward a predictive theory of risk effects: hypotheses for prey attributes and compensatory mortality by Creel, Scott

“…Risk effects, or the costs of antipredator behavior, can comprise a large proportion of the total effect of predators on their prey. While empirical studies…”

Behavioral and endocrine correlates of reproductive failure in social aggregations of captive wolverines (Gulo gulo) by Dalerum, F., Creel, S., Hall, S. B.

“…Sociality in mammals is often viewed as a dichotomy, with sociality contrasted against solitariness. However, variation within these broad categories may have…”

Radiocollaring and Stress Hormones in African Wild Dogs by Creel, Scott, Creel, Nancy Marusha, Monfort, Steven L.

Relationships between direct predation and risk effects by Creel, Scott, Christianson, David

“…Risk effects arise when prey alter their behavior in response to predators, and these responses carry costs. Empirical studies have found that risk effects can…”

Birth order, estrogens and sex-ratio adaptation in African wild dogs ( Lycaon pictus) by Creel, S, Creel, N.Marusha, Monfort, S.L
