Does the risk of encountering lions influence African herbivore behaviour at waterholes? (2009, background): “This may be explained by the diversity of other factors that affect group size in herbivores such as forage abundance and quality (Fryxell 1991; Brashares and Arcese 2002), social organisation (Jarman 1974), competition (Bednekoff and Lima 2004) and type of habitat (Creel and Winnie 2005).”
Fitness consequences of group living in the degu Octodon degus, a plural breeder rodent with communal care (2009, background): “The ‘food abundance and quality’ hypothesis predicts that the size and composition of social groups are determined by the abundance of food resources (Brashares & Arcese 2002).”
Sex and sociality in a disconnected world: A review of the impacts of habitat fragmentation on animal social interactions (2007, background): “There is evidence that many species exhibit flexibility or plasticity in their social behaviour in response to changes in resource availibility, whether temporal or spatial (Jarman 1974; Foster 1999; Brashares and Arcese 2002).”
