[[circled]] A [[/circled]] Requirements for appropriate determination of mating system with sufficient reliability: What % of slack is permitted? How to determine the mode thru relative abundances? [[circled]] 1 [[/circled]] Individuals identification in field [[circled]] 2 [[/circled]] Sex and age of individuals determined. [[circled]] 3 [[/circled]] Reproductive behavior documented in field [[circled]] a [[/circled]] [[male symbol]]: Copulatory bevior with [[female symbol]] That produces offspring. Includes mount; thrust; known intromission [ejac. may be difficult to determine]. [Paternity studies would be nice] [[circled]] b [[/circled]] [[female symbols]]: Pregnancy confirmed. Delivery date known within several days. Lactational status observed. Copulatory partners documented. [[circled]] B [[/circled]] Requirements for strict territorial behavior interpretation: [[end page]] [[start page]] 22 Feb 86 [[circled]] 1 [[/circled]] Home range sizes of known groups clearly identified [[circled]] 2 [[/circled]] Small % of overlap permitted at all seasons. Simultaneous visual confirmations of locations required to ensure that groups move separately. [At PdA; would daily attempt to locate a group thru triangulation by worth it? Has Dietz compared perceived location with real location? All locations should be collected between 4-6 PM when animals in nest boxes.] [[circled]] C [[/circled]] How to determine degree of solidity; rigidity of group size/composition/social organization? [e.g. Does subgrouping exist seasonally; Do animals move between groups? 1. Consecutive simultaneous observations of close [[strikethrough]] ly [[/strikethrough]] neighboring groups. 2. Trapping runs problem of trap site location relative to home range boundaries.
