• Population ecology of vervet monkeys in a high latitude, semi-arid riparian woodland (2013, background): “Although data from more years will be valuable, both may reasonably be explained in terms of increased group size: the associated intragroup competition leads to lower reproductive rates, whilst larger groups need to cover more ground in order to forage (Borries et al. 2008; Clutton-Brock & Harvey 1”
• Small folivorous primate groups exhibit behavioral and physiological effects of food scarcity (2010, background): “More studies that investigate the physiological and fitness effects of feeding competition in folivorous primates (e.g., Borries et al. 2008) will also be important.”
