10、d dog, one of the continents most endangered carnivores, its a matter of life and death. New research shows that once packs fall below a certain size, there are not enough animals to both hunt food and stay at home protecting the young. The African wild dog has declined drastically over the past cen
11、tury. Habitual loss, persecution and unexplained outbreaks of disease have all been blamed. Only 3, 000 to 5, 000 animals remain, and the species is expected to go extinct within decades if the trend continues. Other large carnivores such as the spotted hyena face similar pressures, yet are not decl
12、ining. Now Franck Courchamp of Cambridge University has found a reason why. The dogs weakness lies in its social organisation. Within each pack of up to 20 adults and pups, only the dominant male and female breed. The remaining animals help raise the pups, cooperating to hunt prey and defend the kil
13、l from other carnivores. Because pups cant keep up on a hunt, large packs leave an adult behind to protect them from predators, which include lions and hyenas. But leaving a babysitter also carries costs. A smaller hunting party is less able to tackle large prey and to defend the kill. There is also
14、 one less stomach in which to carry food hack to the den, and one more mouth to feed when they get there. Courchamp investigated this awkward trade-off by modelling how the costs of a babysitter change with decreasing pack size. This showed that packs of more than five adults should be able to feed
15、all the pups and still spare a babysitter. But with smaller packs, either the hunting or the babysitting suffers, or the animals have to compensate by increasing the number of hunting excursions- which itself carries a cost to the pack. Field observations in Zimbabwe supported the model. Packs of fi
16、ve animals or fewer left pups unguarded more frequently than larger packs did. There was also evidence that when they did leave a babysitter, they were forced to hunt more often. A pack which drops below a critical size becomes caught in a vicious circle, says Courchamp, who is now at Paris-Sud Univ
17、ersity. “Poor reproduction and low survival further reduces pack size, culminating in failure of the whole pack. “ And deaths caused by human activity, says Courchamp, may be what reduces pack numbers to below the sustainable threshold.
