Abstract

Having long-term familiar neighbors - rather than kin neighbors - can increase survival and double reproductive success in North American red squirrels. These benefits are so high they can slow senescence and may explain numerous social behaviors in this otherwise individualistic species.

摘要

长期与熟悉的邻居（而非血缘关系的邻居）相处，可以提高北美的红松鼠的存活率，并使它们的繁殖成功率翻倍。这些好处如此之高，以至于可以减缓衰老速度，并解释了该物种中许多其他的社交行为。
