The acoustic structure of suricates' alarm calls varies with predator type and the level of response urgency
- M. Manser
- Psychology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 November 2001
The variation in the acoustic structure of alarm calls appears to convey information about the level of response urgency in some species, while in others it seems to denote the type of predator.… Expand
Selfish sentinels in cooperative mammals.
- T. Clutton-Brock, M. O'riain, +4 authors M. Manser

Like humans engaged in risky activities, group members of some animal societies take turns acting as sentinels. Explanations of the evolution of sentinel behavior have frequently relied on kin… Expand
Intrasexual competition and sexual selection in cooperative mammals
- T. Clutton-Brock, S. J. Hodge, +5 authors M. Manser
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 21 December 2006
In most animals, the sex that invests least in its offspring competes more intensely for access to the opposite sex and shows greater development of secondary sexual characters than the sex that… Expand
Acoustic sequences in non‐human animals: a tutorial review and prospectus
- Arik Kershenbaum, D. Blumstein, +39 authors V. Zamora-Gutierrez
- Engineering, Medicine
- Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical…
- 1 February 2016
Animal acoustic communication often takes the form of complex sequences, made up of multiple distinct acoustic units. Apart from the well‐known example of birdsong, other animals such as insects,… Expand
The information that receivers extract from alarm calls in suricates
- M. Manser, M. Bell, L. B. Fletcher
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 7 December 2001
Field observations and acoustic analyses have shown that suricate (Suricata suricatta) alarm calls vary in their acoustic structure depending on predator type. In this study, we tested whether… Expand
Predation, group size and mortality in a cooperative mongoose, Suricata suricatta.
- T. Clutton-Brock, D. Gaynor, +6 authors P. Brotherton
- Biology
- 1 July 1999
1. In social mammals where group members cooperate to detect predators and raise young, members of small groups commonly show higher mortality or lower breeding success than members of large ones. It… Expand
Costs of cooperative behaviour in suricates (Suricata suricatta)
- T. Clutton-Brock, D. Gaynor, +7 authors J. Skinner
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 7 February 1998
Functional interpretations of helping behaviour suggest that it has evolved because helpers increase their direct or indirect fitness by helping. However, recent critiques have suggested that helping… Expand
‘Nasty neighbours’ rather than ‘dear enemies’ in a social carnivore
Territorial animals typically respond less aggressively to neighbours than to strangers. This ‘dear enemy effect’ has been explained by differing familiarity or by different threat levels posed by… Expand
Cooperation, control, and concession in meerkat groups.
- T. Clutton-Brock, P. Brotherton, +10 authors S. Monfort
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 19 January 2001
"Limited control" models of reproductive skew in cooperative societies suggest that the frequency of breeding by subordinates is determined by the outcome of power struggles with dominants. In… Expand
Individual contributions to babysitting in a cooperative mongoose, Suricata suricatta
- T. Clutton-Brock, P.N.M. Brotherton, +6 authors G. McIlrath
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 7 February 2000
Evolutionary explanations of cooperative breeding based on kin selection have predicted that the individual contributions made by different helpers to rearing young should be correlated with their… Expand
