In social animals, the characteristics and dynamics of groups affect the development of individuals, the selection pressures operating on them and the demography of populations.
Using existing study populations of two social mammals (Kalahari meerkats and Damaraland mole-rats) that offer unique and complementary opportunities for research, we shall (1) explore the effects of variation in group size on growth, behaviour, hormonal status and gene regulation in both species and test suggestions th…
