A complex social structure with fission–fusion properties can emerge from a simple foraging model (2005, unknown): “…spider monkeys, chimpanzees, agent-based models 22 3 INTRODUCTION 23 24 Competition for food and predation risk are the most widely cited influences on the size 25 and structure of animal groups (Alexander 1974; Bradbury and Vehrencamp 1976; Pulliam 26 and Caraco 1984; van Schaik 1989).”
Neotropical bats in the canopy: diversity, community structure, and implications for conservation (2001, background): “Few studies have given descriptions of echolocation behavior and habitat use of Neotropical aerial insectivores (e.g., Barclay 1983; Bradbury & Vehrencamp 1976; Kalko 1995; O’Farrell & Gannon 1999; O’Farrell & Miller 1997, 1999).”
Bat serenades—complex courtship songs of the sac-winged bat (Saccopteryx bilineata) (2004, background): “…the efforts (acoustical and other) males invest in mate attraction: unlike other harem-polygynous bat species, S. bilineata males perform a great variety of optical, olfactorial, and acoustical display behaviours that are believed to attract and retain females (Bradbury and Vehrencamp 1977).”
Analysis of Spix's disc-winged bat association patterns and roosting home ranges reveal a novel social structure among bats (2004, background): “…suggest that individuals in social groups may maintain contact while foraging (M. Vonhof, unpublished observation), but whether groups of T. tricolor defend groupforaging territories, as has been observed for some other tropical bat species (Bradbury & Vehrencamp 1976), remains to be determined.”
Echolocation calls in Central American emballonurid bats: signal design and call frequency alternation (2007, background): “This is likely to be associated with an increase in hearing sensitivity and is mostly seen as an adaptation to hunt flying insects on the wing (Bradbury & Vehrenkamp, 1976; Kalko, 1995; Schnitzler & Kalko, 1998, 2001).”
Socioecological adaptations by chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, inhabiting an anthropogenically impacted habitat (2012, background): “…group often split into smaller subgroups, large subgroups form to exploit abundant food patches and divide when fruits are scarce, thus reducing the need to travel large distances in search of food (Bradbury & Vehrencamp 1976; Chapman et al. 1995; Janson & Goldsmith 1995; Gillespie & Chapman 2001).”
