Gazelles and their relatives are important game animals in Africa
and Asia; they have been successfully introduced into the US and
they are also kept in zoos throughout the world. The occurrence of
territorial behavior and its importance for the reproduction of
gazelles has been recognized for some time; thus specific
information on their territorial behavior is desirable both for
scientific and for practical reasons. This book provides the first
concrete information on territory size and shape, duration of
territorial periods, reoccupation of territories, phases of
territoriality, the process of becoming territorial and of
abandoning the territory, favorable and unfavorable environmental
factors for territorial establishment, and territoriality as
antagonist of migratory behavior. Also included are many previously
unknown details of traditional territorial behavior, such as
differences in the aggression of owners of territories toward
(male) conspecifics of different age and social class, the
structure of a marking system within a territory, etc.
