• Competitive regimes and female bonding in two species of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri oerstedi and S. sciureus) (2004, background): “In the literature on variation in primate sociality, much attention has been devoted to the effects of ecology on group composition and sex ratio (Crook 1972; Busse 1976; Leutenegger and Kelly 1977), and to the ecologial correlates of group size (DeVore 1963; Crook 1970; Clutton-Brock and Harvey 197”
• Why Liberals and Atheists Are More Intelligent (2010, background): “A speciestypical degree of polygyny correlates with the extent of sexual dimorphism in size; the more sexually dimorphic the species (where males are bigger than females), the more polygynous the species (Alexander et al. 1979; Leutenegger and Kelly 1977).”
• Beauty and the beast: mechanisms of sexual selection in humans (2010, background): “However, arboreality imposes no clear constraints on canine size, and selection in terrestrial species favoring larger canines for predator defense (Leutenegger & Kelly, 1977) should affect both sexes.”
