Socioecological adaptations by chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, inhabiting an anthropogenically impacted habitat (2012, background): “It has been suggested that themain benefit from adopting a fissionefusion society specifically derives from its effects on moving time (Korstjens et al. 2006; Lehmann et al. 2007), and in chimpanzees and spidermonkeys (Ateles spp.) reducedmoving time diminished energy demands and feeding time.”
A geometric morphometric approach to the study of ecogeographical and clinal variation in vervet monkeys (2007, background): “Variations in primate time budgets, activity patterns and group sizes can occur to maintain access to resources in different environments (Hill & Dunbar, 2002; Korstjens et al., 2006; Korstjens & Dunbar, in press), which might reduce the extent of morphological adaptation.”
Fission–fusion social systems as a strategy for coping with ecological constraints: a primate case (2007, background): “Previous models of primate socio-ecology have shown that these variables can be important determinants of time budget (Dunbar 1992b, c; Hill and Dunbar 2002; Korstjens et al. 2006; Korstjens and Dunabr 2007; Williamson and Dunbar 1999).”
Fissioning minimizes ranging costs in spider monkeys: a multiple-level approach (2009, unknown): “Ranging costs seem to force chimpanzees and spider monkeys to break up into smaller subgroups, allowing them to occur in habitats that would otherwise not be able to sustain them in their typically minimum viable community size (Korstjens et al. 2006; Lehmann et al. 2007).”
Costs and benefits of group living in primates: group size effects on behaviour and demography (2008, methodology): “This index gives a reliable measure of habitat productivity and, although originally developed for arid areas, it has been effectively used for tropical climates ( Korstjens et al. 2006 ).”
Time allocation and the evolution of group size (2008, unknown): “A physiological or ecological need for rest, resulting from digestion constraints, heat dissipation/conservation, bodily repair, crypsis or other factors, may render a species unable to meet other categorical time demands imposed by sociality (Dunbar 1988; Janson 1998; Williamson & Dunbar 1999; Kors”
Comparative Feeding Ecology of Two Communities of Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in Kibale National Park, Uganda (2011, background): “…studies of wild primates, e.g., female Papio cynocephalus: Altmann (1980); female Theropithecus gelada: Dunbar and Dunbar (1988), and supported by theoretical time budget models, e.g., Papio spp.: Dunbar (1992); Ateles spp.: Korstjens et al. (2006); and colobines: Korstjens and Dunbar (2007).”
