Absentee owners and overlapping home ranges in a territorial species

Summary: Understanding animals' use of space is crucial in behavioral ecology, as it influences many aspects of their lives. This study tracked vervet monkeys in Kenya and found that home range overlaps were not neutral zones, but resulted from groups making incursions when neighbors were absent. This challenges the traditional definition of territoriality and exclusivity in animal behavior.

Summary: Urbanisation is rapidly changing natural landscapes and impacting biodiversity, with little documentation on how African wildlife respond to this. Studies in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa show that connected habitat mosaics of natural and anthropogenic green spaces are crucial for the persistence of urban wildlife.
