现存食肉动物的多样性为比较研究提供了宝贵的机会，以阐明哺乳动物社会进化的一般模式。特别是最近对猫鼬（猫鼬科）的实地研究产生了详细的行为和人口数据，从而可以检验社会进化理论的假设和预测。对它们最近的亲戚，马达加斯加的Eupleridae的社会系统的第一次研究也已经开始。关于猫鼬的文献最后一次被回顾是在25年前。本文综述了两个猫鼬家族在社会组织、交配制度和社会结构（特别是竞争与合作）方面的研究现状。我们的第二个目标是评估这些研究对更好地理解哺乳动物社会进化的贡献。根据已发表的报告或轶事信息，我们可以将34种Herpestidae中的16种归为独居，9种归为群居；其余部分的可用数据不足。有一个强烈的社会性的系统发育信号，永久的复杂群体仅限于属acrossarchus，Helogale, Liberiictis， Mungos和suricata。我们的综述还表明，对独居猫鼬和群居猫鼬的研究是在不同的理论框架下进行的：虽然独居物种和向群居性的转变主要是与生态决定因素有关，但对高度群居猫鼬的社会模式的研究是基于生殖偏态理论的。在一些群居物种中，群体的大小和组成通过群体扩增决定了繁殖竞争和合作繁殖。杀婴风险和近亲繁殖回避将社会组织和社会结构与生殖策略和生活史联系起来，但它们对猫鼬社会性的具体影响仍然难以评估。然而，群居猫鼬的繁殖偏度水平不仅取决于相互抑制繁殖尝试的成本和收益，还受资源丰度的影响。因此，在食物竞争的背景下，迁徙的结果也与共同繁殖的成本有关。通过将这些事实联系起来，我们表明社会生态模型和生殖偏态理论共享了社会模式的一些决定因素。由于其长期的生物地理隔离和不同的选择压力，对其社会系统的进一步研究将对阐明食肉动物社会进化的一般模式具有重要价值。
The diversity of extant carnivores provides valuable opportunities for comparative research to illuminate general patterns of mammalian social evolution. Recent field studies on mongooses (Herpestidae), in particular, have generated detailed behavioural and demographic data allowing tests of assumptions and predictions of theories of social evolution. The first studies of the social systems of their closest relatives, the Malagasy Eupleridae, also have been initiated. The literature on mongooses was last reviewed over 25 years ago. In this review, we summarise the current state of knowledge on the social organisation, mating systems and social structure (especially competition and cooperation) of the two mongoose families. Our second aim is to evaluate the contributions of these studies to a better understanding of mammalian social evolution in general. Based on published reports or anecdotal information, we can classify 16 of the 34 species of Herpestidae as solitary and nine as group‐living; there are insufficient data available for the remainder. There is a strong phylogenetic signal of sociality with permanent complex groups being limited to the generaCrossarchus,Helogale, Liberiictis, Mungos, andSuricata. Our review also indicates that studies of solitary and social mongooses have been conducted within different theoretical frameworks: whereas solitary species and transitions to gregariousness have been mainly investigated in relation to ecological determinants, the study of social patterns of highly social mongooses has instead been based on reproductive skew theory. In some group‐living species, group size and composition were found to determine reproductive competition and cooperative breeding through group augmentation. Infanticide risk and inbreeding avoidance connect social organisation and social structure with reproductive tactics and life histories, but their specific impact on mongoose sociality is still difficult to evaluate. However, the level of reproductive skew in social mongooses is not only determined by the costs and benefits of suppressing each other's breeding attempts, but also influenced by resource abundance. Thus, dispersal, as a consequence of eviction, is also linked to the costs of co‐breeding in the context of food competition. By linking these facts, we show that the socio‐ecological model and reproductive skew theory share some determinants of social patterns. We also conclude that due to their long bio‐geographical isolation and divergent selection pressures, future studies of the social systems of the Eupleridae will be of great value for the elucidation of general patterns in carnivore social evolution.
