Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., Myatt, J. P., Jordan, N. R., Dewhirst, O. P., McNutt, J. W., & Wilson, A. M. (2016). Energy cost and return for hunting in African wild dogs and Cheetahs. Nature Communications, 7, https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11034

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are reported to hunt with energetically costly long chase distances. We used high-resolution GPS and inertial technology to record 1,119 high-speed chases of all members of a pack of six adult African wild dogs in no...

Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs (2016)
Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., Myatt, J. P., Jordan, N. R., Dewhirst, O. P., Weldon McNutt, J., & Wilson, A. M. (2016). Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs. Nature Communications, 7, 11033. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11033

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are described as highly collaborative endurance pursuit hunters based on observations derived primarily from the grass plains of East Africa. However, the remaining population of this endangered species mainly occupi... Read More about Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs.
