Divergent echolocation call frequencies in insular rhinolophids (Chiroptera): a case of character displacement? (2007, background): “There is evidence that in Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, juveniles associate with their mothers at foraging grounds, and inherit maternal preferences for particular areas (Rossiter et al., 2002).”
Ecological, social, and reproductive factors shape producer–scrounger dynamics in baboons (2009, background): “Why might this be? Studies examining cofeeding at food patches across a number of species have shown kinship only to be important at parent–offspring levels of relatedness (Sklepkovych 1997; Belisle and Chapais 2001; Rossiter et al. 2002; Nystrand 2006).”
Association patterns and kinship in female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) of southeastern Australia (2006, unknown): “, greater horseshoe bats (Rossiter et al. 2002)], may breed communally [e.”
From spatial orientation to food acquisition in echolocating bats (2003, background): “Rossiter et al. [ 31 ] found the greatest spatial association in R. ferrumequinum between females and their adult daughters, both in foraging grounds and night roosts.”
