Group dynamics of zebra and wildebeest in a woodland savanna: effects of predation risk and habitat density.
Group dynamics of gregarious ungulates in the grasslands of the African savanna have been well studied, but the trade-offs that affect grouping of these ungulates in woodland habitats or dense vegetation are less well understood. We examined the landscape-level distribution of groups of blue wildebe...
