  • Title: Uganda kob (Adenota kob thomasi): territoriality and the spatial distributions of sexual and agonistic behaviors at a territorial ground).
    Author: Floody OR, Arnold AP.
    Journal: Z Tierpsychol; 1975 Mar; 37(2):192-212. PubMed ID: 1170698.
    Abstract:
    Possible functions of territorial behavior were evaluated on the basis of observations of agonistic and reproductive activities of Uganda kob at a "territorial ground" (TG) in southwestern Uganda. We have found that male residents of a TG tend to occupy exclusive areas, and that agonistic interactions are concentrated along the boundaries separating adjacent occupied areas. Thus, we conclude that male kob do engage in the active defense of spatially exclusive territories at a TG.
