Bushmeat hunting by communities adjacent to the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania: the importance of livestock ownership and alternative sources of protein and income
Illegal hunting of resident and migratory herbivores is widespread in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. To devise effective strategies to reduce levels of hunting, information is required on why…

The impact of game meat hunting on target and non-target species in the Serengeti
In the Serengeti National Park (SNP), illegal game meat hunting is largely carried out using snares in the south-western, western and north-western areas. Game meat hunting provides cash income and…

Noninvasive fecal monitoring of glucocorticoids in spotted hyenas, Crocuta crocuta.
TLDR
Fecal steroid assessment is of use in monitoring adrenal activity in spotted hyenas because of the physiological relevance of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites and the high-performance liquid chromatography fractions analyzed by EIA showed various immunoreactive substances with polarities of unconjugated steroids.

The erect ‘penis’ is a flag of submission in a female-dominated society: greetings in Serengeti spotted hyenas
TLDR
A new scenario is sketched that links (1) initial virilization to the occurrence of neonatal siblicide amongst members of a twin litter, and (2) costs of maintenance, ‘pseudo-penile’ control over copulation and male submission, and suggests new hypotheses to account for hitherto unexplained features.

The commuting system of Serengeti spotted hyaenas: how a predator copes with migratory prey. II. Intrusion pressure and commuters' space use
Abstract Abstract. In the Serengeti, Tanzania, spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta Erxleben, regularly left their clan's territory to feed on the nearest migratory herds ('commuting trips'). The mean…

Demography, extinction and intervention in a small population: the case of the Serengeti wild dogs
TLDR
Investigation of the effects of ecological factors and intervention in Serengeti wild dogs found a significant reduction in pack life and individual longevity was coincident with the introduction of routine intervention and consistent with pathogen-induced mortality.

Regular exposure to rabies virus and lack of symptomatic disease in Serengeti spotted hyenas
TLDR
High seroprevalence of rabies, low basic reproductive rate of the virus, a carrier state, and the absence of symptomatic rabies in a carnivore in an ecosystem with multihost and multistrain maintenance has not been previously demonstrated for rabies.

The commuting system of Serengeti spotted hyaenas: how a predator copes with migratory prey. III. Attendance and maternal care
TLDR
Because maternal effort was highest when cub growth was at a minimum, maternal fitness would be maximized by commuting as little as possible to ensure cub growth and survival.

Sexual conflicts in spotted hyenas: male and female mating tactics and their reproductive outcome with respect to age, social status and tenure
TLDR
Female mate choice matched observed patterns of affiliative male–female behaviour, indicating that affiliative behaviour is a successful male mating tactic, and was consistent with the idea that male tenure may serve as an index of male quality, although male fertility may decline with extreme old age.
