Foraging strategies as a function of season and rank among wild female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
Among mammals, female reproduction is generally thought to be food limited, and
dominance should theoretically afford high-ranking females with access to better food …

Female home range size is regulated by resource distribution and intraspecific competition: a long-term field study
The size of an individual's home range is an important feature, influencing reproduction and
survival, but it can vary considerably among both populations and individuals. The factors …

Females go where the food is: does the socio-ecological model explain variation in social organisation of solitary foragers?
M Dammhahn, PM Kappeler - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2009 - Springer

Hawaiian honeycreeper home range size varies with habitat: implications for native Acacia koa forestry
Reforesting degraded landscapes with native, high‐value timber trees may contribute to
biodiversity protection while also increasing the economic value of the land. Ideally …

From physiology to space use: energy reserves and androgenization explain home‐range size variation in a woodland rodent
This study tested the relationships between both individual‐level and predation‐risk factors
and the size of two home‐range regions (HRR), defined as areas of different intensities of …

Semelparity in a population of Gracilinanus agilis (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) inhabiting the Brazilian cerrado
GP Lopes, NO Leiner - Mammalian Biology, 2015 - Springer
Although reproducing once in a lifetime (ie semelparity) is considered rare among
vertebrates, it has evolved at least five times in two distantly related marsupial families; the …

Genetic basis of the trade‐off between offspring number and quality in the bank vole
One of the main tenets of modern life‐history theory is the negative relationship (trade‐off)
between the number and quality of offspring produced. Theory predicts a negative genetic …

Space use variation in co-occurring sister species: response to environmental variation or competition?
Coexistence often involves niche differentiation either as the result of environmental
divergence, or in response to competition. Disentangling the causes of such divergence …
