Primate socioecological studies have attempted to derive general frameworks using the
average behavioural traits of species or genera to place them into categories. However, with …

Socio-ecological models aim to predict the variation in social systems based on a limited
number of ecological parameters. Since the 1960s, the original model has taken two paths …

Recently, considerable intraspecific variation in the diets and ranging behavior of colobine
monkeys has been described, although in most cases this has involved documenting …

The idea that competition and aggression are central to an understanding of the origins of
group‐living and sociality among human and nonhuman primates is the dominant theory in …

A number of socioecological models assume that within-group food competition is either
weak or absent among folivorous primates. This assumption is made because their food …

Dominance behaviours have been collected for many groups of animals since 1922 and
serve as a foundation for research on social behaviour and social structure. Despite a …

The influence of diet and food distribution on the socioecology of group-living species has
long been debated, particularly for primates. It has typically been assumed that folivorous …

Early Human Kinship brings together original studies from leading figures in the biological
sciences, social anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics to provide a major breakthrough …

Group size influences foraging efficiency in several primates. We examined the activity
budgets of 3 groups of Geoffroy's pied colobus (Colobus vellerosus) at the Boabeng-Fiema …

Phylogenetic models of primate social behaviour posit that core social traits are inherent
species characteristics that depend largely on phylogenetic histories of species rather than …
