“…5). Other investigations also have found genetic relationships based on social system and structure of the mammals being studied, but simple relationships were complicated by variations among individual behaviour (Selander, 1970;Olivier et al, 1981;Chesser, 1983;Packer et al, 1991;Matthews & Porter, 1993). Although pig dendrograms showed obvious concordance between behavioural and genetic structure of feral pigs, relationships were not as strong as suggested in previous observational studies on feral pigs (Barrett, 1978).…”

We examined demographics, dispersal, sex-related behaviour, group structure, and genetic similarities of female feral pigs Sus scrofa on the Chaparral Wildlife Management Area in southern Texas from June 1993 to December 1995. Cumulative and seasonal ranges and core areas were calculated for 18 female pigs representing three distinct sounders. Simultaneous pairs of radio locations were used to assess behavioural associations among pigs, and DNA ®ngerprinting was used to determine genetic similarity. Behavioural and spatial associations largely corresponded to genetic relationships. Similarity of behavioural dendrograms to genetic dendrograms indicated that genetic relationships of feral pigs played a role in observed population structure. A single discrepancy between genetic and behavioural dendrograms suggested two animals dispersed to an adjacent sounder. Also, one sounder appeared to have been created by ®ssion from a larger, adjacent sounder. Factors that are important keys in understanding the association between genetics and behaviour of feral pigs include dispersal, climate, habitat quality, population densities, and sex-related behaviour.

“…This age-specific dispersal pattern is common among vertebrate species (e.g., rodents [Wilson, 1975:104]; primates [Packer, 1979;Olivier et al, 1981]; a social bat [Mc-Cracken and Bradbury, 1977]; birds [Greenwood et al, 1979;Baker and Mewaldt, 1978]; and a lizard [Blair, 1960]).

“…Evidence for this phenomenon has been demonstrated for fission of Yanomamo villages along patrilines (Smouse et aI., 1981), for division oftoque macaque troops along matrilines (Dittus, 1988), and for division of rhesus macaque troops along matrilines on Cayo Santiago Island (MacMillan and Duggleby, 1981;Olivier et al, 1981).…”

Abstract. -The relationship between social structure and partitioning of genetic variance was examined in two red howler monkey populations (Wand G) in Venezuela, one of which (G) was undergoing rapid growth through colonization by new troops. Rates and patterns of gene flow had been determined through radiotelemetry and direct observation data on solitary migrants, and 10 years of troop censusing. Standard electrophoresis techniques were used to examine 29 loci in blood samples taken from 137 of the study animals. Analysis of genetic variance demonstrated: (I) a significantly high level of genetic variation among troops within populations (FST = 0.225 for Wand 0.142 for G), and (2) a significant excess of heterozygosity within troops relative to expected (F ,s = -0.136 for Wand -0.064 for G), despite relatively high levels of observed and inferred inbreeding in W. Differences between the populations in F S T values conformed to those predicted based on differences in colonization rate. Comparison of partitioning of genetic variance among different genealogical subsets of troops demonstrated that the pattern of genetic differentiation observed among troops within populations was promoted by an essentially single-male harem breeding structure, a very low rate of random exchange of breeding males among troops, and a high degree of relatedness among troop females. Between-troop genetic differentiation (F sT ) was thereby increased relative to that expected from other types of social organization, while the correlation between uniting gametes within troops (F,s) was decreased. Genetic differentiation between populations (2%) corresponded to that predicted from migration rates. Such a mosaic of genetic variation, combined with differences in reproductive success observed among troops and a high troop failure rate, create conditions in which interdemic selection could result in more rapid spread of advantageous gene combinations than would be expected in a panmictic population, particularly in a colonizing situation in which the founder population is small.
