Abstract:
Communication plays a vital role in the social lives of many species and varies greatly in complexity. One possible way to increase communicative complexity is by combining signals into longer sequences, which has been proposed as a mechanism allowing species with a limited repertoire to increase their communicative output. In mammals, most studies on combinatoriality have focused on vocal communication in non-human primates. Here, we investigated a potential combination of alarm calls in the dwarf mongoose ( Helogale parvula ), a non-primate mammal. Acoustic analyses and playback experiments with a wild population suggest: (i) that dwarf mongooses produce a complex call type (T 3 ) which, at least at the surface level, seems to comprise units that are not functionally different to two meaningful alarm calls (aerial and terrestrial); and (ii) that this T 3 call functions as a general alarm, produced in response to a wide range of threats. Using a novel approach, we further explored multiple interpretations of the T 3 call based on the information content of the apparent comprising calls and how they are combined. We also considered an alternative, non-combinatorial interpretation that frames T 3 as the origin, rather than the product, of the individual alarm calls. This study complements previous knowledge of vocal combinatoriality in non-primate mammals and introduces an approach that could facilitate comparisons between different animal and human communication systems.

Abstract:
Development of gingival enlargement and periodontitis is described in a young dwarf mongoose. Repeated treatments resulted in gingival resection and histologic evaluation however gingival enlargement was ultimately responsive to extraction of associated teeth. In cases such as these, surgical extraction of teeth associated with severe recurrent gingival enlargement should be considered to avoid the stress and risk of repeated immobilizations.

Abstract:
Animals in captivity can be deprived of performing some of their natural behaviours. Using enrichments may allow them to express a larger part of species-specific behaviour repertoire and with a better frequency distribution. This study focuses on three species of the family Herpestidae which live in captivity at Bioparc Valencia (Spain). The project aims to study the effect of environmental enrichment on the behaviour of meerkats, banded mongooses and dwarf mongooses in human care. To achieve this goal two different types of enrichmentswere tested: (1) a food enrichment with several variations and (2) an olfactory enrichment with the presentation of two new odours. The food enrichment aimed to increase foraging behaviour and the olfactory enrichment aimed to test if captive animals behave differently in the presence of a predator’s odour compared to a non-predator’s odour. Results revealed that foraging can increase up to 16% implementing enrichments and that success depends on the presence and quantity of food. On the other hand, animals did not seem to behave differently in the presence of both odours. The frequencies of behaviours and time spent interacting did not differ between these olfactory enrichments. I conclude that implementing enrichment programmes may ensure better welfare for captive animals.

Abstract:
Vocal communication underpins behavioural interactions in many species. Receivers often show flexible responses to the same or acoustically similar vocalisations, but the causes and adaptive significance of this flexibility remain poorly understood in comparison to variation in signaller behaviour. In this thesis, I explore flexibility in responses to anti-predator vocalisations depending on caller identity and context, using dwarf mongooses (Helogale parvula) as a model system. I demonstrate that foragers rely more on surveillance calls from dominant sentinels compared to subordinates; dominant individuals perform more sentinel duty and chose higher guard posts, thus may provide higher quality information (Chapter 2). I find little evidence that caller dominance status affects response to recruitment calls, but that individuals show a stronger mobbing response to recruitment calls of closely affiliated groupmates; anti-predator assistance may be a benefit of close 'friendships' (Chapter 3). In Chapter 4, I examine whether receivers balance personal and social information when deciding whether to respond to potentially false alarm calls. Individuals use alarm · calls when they provide information about risk which is novel compared to personal information, are more responsive to alarms from sentinels (whose elevated position enhances predator detection) than foragers, and are more likely to respond when supplementary fed, adjusting their responses to the relative likelihood of predation and starvation. In Chapter 5, I explore potential effects of anthropogenic noise on receiver behaviour. Traffic noise lessens the response of foragers to surveillance calls through a combination of partial acoustic masking and greater perceived risk, disrupting optimisation of the foraging-vigilance trade-off. Finally, I show the importance of having previous knowledge about signallers when assessing available social information quality; foragers treated surveillance calls from recent immigrants as less reliable than those from resident individuals, and thus dispersal may carry short-term information costs (Chapter 6).
