Reconciliation and Consolation in Captive Western Gorillas (2006, unknown): “, allmale or multimale groups are very rare in populations of western gorillas (Parnell, 2002; Stoinski et al., 2003; Stokes et al., 2003).”
Socioecological influences on the reproductive success of female mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) (2007, background): “However, such conditions may also be more representative of western lowland gorillas where females transfer preferentially to smaller groups, and yet, preliminary studies suggest that their agonistic behavior is equally ineffective (Stokes et al. 2003; Stokes 2004).”
Best practice guidelines for surveys and monitoring of great ape populations (2008, background): “Counting recognisable individuals is used in long-term studies of apes at forest clearings or baïs in northern Congo (Magliocca et al. 1999; Parnell 2002; Stokes et al. 2003).”
Ranging behavior of the mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda: a test of the ecological constraints model (2005, background): “ence female dispersal patterns and, in turn, male dispersal patterns (Watts 1990b; Stokes et al. 2003; Robbins et al. 2004).”
Long-term dominance relationships in female mountain gorillas: strength, stability and determinants of rank (2005, background): “In contrast, females of western lowland gorillas appear to prefer smaller groups (Stokes et al., 2003), suggesting that feeding competition may have a stronger influence on their fitness and perhaps their dominance relationships than is the case for mountain gorillas.”
Advances in our understanding of mammalian sex‐biased dispersal (2007, background): “…strategy to attempt to immigrate into a new group with an infant who has not been sired by a resident male, or to emigrate following the death of an infant as a direct result of a male takeover (e.g. Stokes et al. 2003), and therefore this explanation seems an unlikely general explanation for FBD.”
Costs of group size: lower developmental and reproductive rates in larger groups of leaf monkeys (2008, background): “More recent data for folivorous species showed no or weak effects of group size on birth or survival rates (Steenbeck and van Schaik 2001; Stokes et al. 2003; Robbins et al. 2007).”
