The Kalahari Meerkat Project, often called the KMP, habituated various groups of wild meerkats. Earning the trust of the wild animals took many months. Eventually, researchers were able to follow the group's on foot and begin collecting data. Meerkats were trained to hop on scales for small rewards of boiled egg or fresh water. Seasonal dynamics matter. The Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa is projected to become drier and warmer as a result of climate change. The new study investigates how consistently rising summer temperatures and rainfall fluctuations will affect body mass and growth of meerkats, resulting in lower rates of reproduction and offspring survival. 「カラハリ砂漠のミーアキャット」プロジェクト http://www.earthwatch.jp/project/projectlist/world/8_af/meerkats.html 募集人数：最大6人（チーム9：9月18日～10月1日ほか） ※18歳以上であれば、研究経験は問いません。The Kalahari Meerkat Project, or KMP, is a long term research project focused on studying the evolutionary causes and ecological consequences of cooperative behaviors in meerkats. The secondary aims of the project are to determine what factors affect the reproductive success of the meerkats and what behavioral and physiological 見逃し配信. 南アフリカ、カラハリ砂漠に暮らすミーアキャットはマングースの仲間。. 一組の夫婦とその子供たちで大家族をつくる。. 天敵への警戒や縄張り争いに団結して対処するなど、家族の絆はとても強い。. ところがこの絆が大きな危機を迎える時 Over the past years, the Kalahari Meerkat Project monitored between 5 and 15 meerkat groups at any given time. Each group inhabits a home range, or territory, that is on average 0.5 to 1 square kilometer in size. This results in a population density of 5 to 17 meerkats per square kilometer.
