Carnivore Group Living: Comparative Trendse period outside of the breeding season (Bekoff et al. 1984; Gittleman 1984). Because most carnivores reside in dense habitats and are solitary, dangerous, and nocturnal, little information existed on their social behavior until recently. Now, more comprehensive and comparative data are available to

By contrast, the giant panda (.) survives only along the mountainous eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau, confined to an area totaling about 29,500 km. mainly in China’s Sichuan province, but also southern Gansu and Shaanxi provinces (Figure 8.1).

Basal Rate of Metabolism, Body Size, and Food Habits in the Order Carnivoray expenditure is greatest in species that have high costs of maintenance (e.g., endotherms), high activity levels (due either to extended periods of activity or to the use of expensive forms of locomotion, such as flight and elaborate courtship rituals), expensive means or extended periods of resour

Patterns of Energy Output During Reproduction in Carnivoresrients for the synthesis of fetal, placental, uterine, and mammary tissues. Lactation involves an even greater drain of nutrients and energy. During reproduction energy expenditure may also rise as a consequence of increases in metabolic rate and activity level (Thompson and Nicoll 1986). To support
