Evolutionary Ecology, Resource Depression, and Niche Construction Theory: Applications to Central California Hunter-Gatherers and Mimbres-Mogollon Agriculturalists (2010, methodology): “Recent work by Barlow (1997, 2002), which is directed at understanding the factors underlying variability in the importance of agriculture in the prehistoric American Southwest, provides a useful starting point for exploring this type of niche construction.”
Niche Construction Theory and Archaeology (2010, background): “Accordingly, the conclusions of Barlow (2002) analysis are probably a manifestation of a more general rule, along the lines of engage in costly niche construction only when you need to.”
Evolution in Archaeology (2008, background): “OFT is increasingly being applied to understanding past plant exploitation and food production (e.g., Barlow 2002, 2006; Kennett et al. 2006b), and issues of risk and time-discounting are also being introduced (e.g., Tucker 2006).”
Behavioral Ecology and Archaeology (2006, background): “Cursory review of the relevant archaeological literature suggests that she may well be right (Barlow, 2002, pp. 79–82; see also Coltrain and Leavitt, 2002; Coltrain and Stafford, 1999; Madsen and Simms, 1998; Simms, 1986, 1999).”
The prey as patch model: optimal handling of resources with diminishing returns (2005, result): “Linking models designed for instantaneous decision-making to diachronic change at archaeological time scales is always a challenge but one that can be overcome as demonstrated by several recent studies [2,12,26,27,45,56,57,60].”
The Broad Spectrum Revolution at 40: Resource diversity, intensification, and an alternative to optimal foraging explanations (2012, background): “In a similar vein, the increased investment in maize agriculture and sedentism among Great Basin Fremont peoples at about A.D. 700–1100 was, following optimal foraging principles, attributed to decreasing yields of higher ranking wild game and plant resources (Barlow, 2002).”
