Zusammenfassung

Social animals benefit from their groupmates, so why do they sometimes kill each other's offspring? Using 30 years of data from multiple groups of wild spotted hyenas, we address three critical aims for understanding infanticide in any species: (1) quantify the contribution of infanticide to overall mortality, (2) describe the circumstances under which infanticide occurs, and (3) evaluate hypotheses about the evolution of infanticide. We find that infanticide, although observed only rarely, is in fact a leading source of juvenile mortality. Infanticide accounted for 24% of juvenile mortality, and one in 10 hyenas born in our population perished as a result of infanticide. In all observed cases of infanticide, killers were adult females, but victims could be of both sexes. Of four hypotheses regarding the evolution of infanticide, we found the most support for the hypothesis that infanticide in spotted hyenas reflects competition over social status among matrilines.
