The role of territoriality was investigated using 25 impala rams in a site in South Africa. Field data were used to determine known rams as territorial and bachelors, as well as aspirant and indeterminate.

Territory boundaries seemed to remain constant through the season, and are smaller when… CONTINUE READING
