Social and Maintenance Behavior of the Echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus
Abstract
The social and maintenance behavior of the monotreme, Tachyglossus aculeatus, was studied in laboratory and outdoor cages and in the semiwild state in Victoria, Australia. Behavioral postures and positions are defined and described and sequences of behavior are suggested. Sonograms are presented of different sniffing noises made by the echidnas. While echidnas may have a territory or home range in the wild, they are loosely hierarchial in laboratory situations. Most social interactions are resolved by the subordinate individual avoiding a direct encounter by passing, turning away, or stopping. Dominance is determined on the basis of the outcome of challenges and mutual axillary sniffing and is maintained by bumping behavior.

“Even among primates, ungulates and cetaceans, there appear to be taxa that are no more social than a typical viper or crocodile, such as mouse lemurs, duikers, and rorquals (e.g., Brattstrom, 1973).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
