A Comparison of Social Organization in Asian Elephants and African Savannah Elephants (2012, unknown): “Differences in productivity create different levels of competition among conspecifics, a strong driver of social patterns even intraspecifically (Silk 2007), as well as among species with similar mating systems and diet requirements as is the case in this study (Chapman and Chapman 2000).”
Ranging behavior of the mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda: a test of the ecological constraints model (2005, background): “In particular, the distribution, density, size, and quality of food resources within a primate groups’ range likely plays a stronger role (Chapman 1988; Isbell 1991; Chapman et al. 1995; Isbell et al. 1998; Chapman and Chapman 2000b; Gillespie and Chapman 2001).”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, methodology): “Similarly, for species that do not rely on foods which occur in discrete depletable patches, including some folivores, there may be little cost associated with living in large groups (Chapman & Chapman 2000).”
Nutritional Correlates of Population Density Across Habitats and Logging Intensities in Redtail Monkeys (Cercopithecus ascanius) 1 (2006, methodology): “Redtail groups at these three sites, Sebatoli, Dura River, and Mainaro within Kibale National Park, were previously monitored to determine diet and these areas were censused for important food tree densities and sizes (Chapman & Chapman 2000).”
Application of Protein-to-Fiber Ratios to Predict Colobine Abundance on Different Spatial Scales (2002, background): “A complete description of the forests, including densities, average size, and phenology of each tree species, was given by Chapman et al. (1997) and Chapman and Chapman (2000).”
Territory and group sizes in Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber): echoes of settlement and reproduction? (2005, background): “…such as reproductive suppression, intra-group competition and alloparenting, but the very presence of additional group members will have implications for resource depletion and defence (Jennions and Macdonald 1994; Clutton-Brock et al. 1998a, 1999; Baker et al. 2000; Chapman and Chapman 2000).”
Are Primates Ecosystem Engineers? (2012, methodology): “We used red colobus foraging data that were collected from groups using each of the areas, produced area-specific food lists (all foods >1 % of the total foraging time), and calculated the cumulative DBH of these foods in each plot (Chapman and Chapman 1997, 2000).”
Towards an ecological solution to the folivore paradox: patch depletion as an indicator of within-group scramble competition in red colobus monkeys (Piliocolobus tephrosceles) (2005, methodology): “These predictions form the basis of the ecological constraints model (Chapman et al. 1995; Chapman and Chapman 2000b; Wrangham 2000), and are well supported by empirical data, particularly among frugivorous primates who compete for patchy, high-quality food resources (Leighton and Leighton 1982;…”
Social influences on ranging patterns among chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in the Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire (2003, background): “Therefore, the observed home range within a species is most likely the result of a combination of various factors acting on different levels (Chapman and Chapman, 2000), and recent studies on use of space indicate a shift from simple, general models toward those incorporating a variety of factors (G”
