Population and conservation genomics of the world's rarest hyena species, the brown hyena (Parahyena brunnea)
- Environmental Science, BiologybioRxiv
- 2017
Brown hyenas harbour the lowest genetic diversity for a species on both the mitochondrial and nuclear level when compared to a number of mammalian species for which such information is currently available, and this could be the result of a continuous and ongoing decline in effective population size.

Palaeoproteomic analysis of Pleistocene cave hyenas from east Asia
- BiologyScientific reports
- 2020
This marks the first proteomic data generated from cave hyenas, adding new molecular data to the east Asian populations of Crocuta, and reveals two different groups of cave Hyenas in east Asia.
Sex Differences Dictate the Movement Patterns of Striped Hyenas, Hyaena hyaena, in a Human-Dominated Landscape
- Environmental ScienceFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution

Large-carnivore populations have experienced significant declines in the past centuries in extended parts of the world. Habitat loss, fragmentation, and depletion of natural resources are some of the…
Ancient mitochondrial genomes from Chinese cave hyenas provide insights into the evolutionary history of the genus Crocuta
- Biology, GeographyProceedings of the Royal Society B
- 2021
Near-complete mitochondrial genomes from two cave hyenas from northeastern China are assembled, representing the youngest directly dated fossils of Crocuta in Asia and a monophyletic clade of these two samples within a deeply diverging mitochondrial haplogroup of Cro cuta is suggested.
The ecology of spotted hyena,Crocuta crocuta, in Majete Wildlife Reserve, Malawi
- Environmental Science
- 2016
Spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta, home range size in the Majete Wildlife Reserve (MWR), Malawi, was determined using data collected from camera traps. Cameras were placed throughout the reserve at…
First bone-cracking dog coprolites provide new insight into bone consumption in Borophagus and their unique ecological niche
- Environmental Science, GeographyeLife
- 2018
Rare coprolites from the late Miocene of California are reported and unambiguous evidence that these predatory canids ingested large amounts of bone is described, suggesting that bone-crushing Borophagus potentially hunted in collaborative social groups and occupied a niche no longer present in North American ecosystems.
Striped hyenas as bone modifiers in dual human-to-carnivore experimental models
- Environmental Science, GeographyArchaeological and Anthropological Sciences
- 2018
Taphonomic studies, along with modern analogs arisen from experimentation, have been developed to discern the agents responsible for bone accumulations. A special focus has been given to carnivores,…
Long-read genome sequencing provides molecular insights into 2 scavenging and societal complexity in spotted hyena Crocuta 3 4
- Biology
- 2022
The genomic analyses provide molecular insights into the scavenging lifestyle and societal complexity of spotted hyenas and suggest that immune tolerance between the spotted hyena and closely related striped hyena has undergone adaptive divergence to cope with prolonged dietary exposure to microbial pathogens from scavenging.

This action plan sets out to address some of the problems facing this species of animal, particularly the issue of public perception and awareness, and provides guidelines to rectify this situation.
Feeding and social behaviour of the striped hyaena (Hyaena vulgaris Desmarest)
- Environmental Science
- 1976
Striped hyaenas are more omnivorous than spotted ones, scavenging a great deal and eating insects, fruits and small vertebrate prey, but the diets of the two species have several food species in common, and there is competition in the relatively small area where the geographical ranges and habitats of theTwo hyAenas overlap.
Mechanisms of maternal rank ‘inheritance’ in the spotted hyaena, Crocuta crocuta
- BiologyAnimal Behaviour
- 2000
Young hyaenas and primates appear to 'inherit' their mothers' ranks by strikingly similar mechanisms, although Hyaena rank acquisition did not appear to be directly affected by genetic heritability.
Social intelligence in the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta)
- BiologyPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
- 2007
Spotted hyenas appear to rely more intensively than primates on social facilitation and simple rules of thumb in social decision making, and the gross anatomy of the brain in spotted Hyenas might resemble that in primates with respect to expansion of frontal cortex, presumed to be involved in the mediation of social behaviour.
Sex Differences in Territorial Behavior Exhibited by the Spotted Hyena (Hyaenidae, Crocuta crocuta)

Spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) are gregarious carnivores that defend group territories against encroachment by neighboring conspecifics. Here we monitored the behavior of members of one clan of…
Reproductive skew among males in a female-dominated mammalian society
- Biology
- 2002
The data support a ‘‘limited control’’ model of reproductive skew in this species, in which female choice may play a more important role in limiting control by dominant males than do power struggles among males.
Sexual conflicts in spotted hyenas: male and female mating tactics and their reproductive outcome with respect to age, social status and tenure
- PsychologyProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences
- 2003
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.
