Cohesion among canids: Insights into social behavior
From NPS.gov:
This study explored how animals in social groups, specifically those in the Canis genus (like wolves and coyotes), decide to stay close to each other or not. The researchers tracked 574 individuals from six different Canid species across 15 countries using GPS technology. They wanted to understand what influences the amount of time animals spend together, known as “cohesion.” Researchers defined cohesion by determining if animals within the same group were within 100 m of each other during the collection of each GPS location.
