Manser). Acknowledgements We thank M. Manser for her contributions to maintain the long-term KMP and her contributions to this specific project. The Kalahari Meerkat Project investigates both ultimate and proximate causes of cooperative breeding in mammals. Longterm data from habituated groups of wild meerkats allow for a variety of empirical questions in evolutionary and behavioural ecology to be investigated at both the individual and population level. A new study by the Kalahari Meerkat project of the University of Cambridge shows that female meerkats fight more than their male counterparts for dominance. In most animals, females invest more in raising offspring, with the result that males compete intensely to gain access to fertile females. Meerkat research The Kalahari Meerkat Project was set up some 15 years ago by Professor Clutton-Brock from the University of Cambridge, UK. Since then, the Cambridge scientists have collaborated with colleagues in otherly at About. This website intends to share information about the Kalahari Meerkat Project and the Kalahari Research Center.
