Diademed Sifaka (Propithecus diadema) Ranging and Habitat Use in Continuous and Fragmented Forest: Higher Density but Lower Viability in Fragments? (2008, background): “CONT groups rely on rare, mature fruiting trees of a few species in the rainy season, and use the abundant (99/ha in CONT habitat, 152/ha in FRAG habitat) hemiparasitic mistletoe Bakerella clavata as a dry season fallback food (= ‘keystone resource’ sensu Hemingway & Bynum 2005).”
Evolutionary Consequences of Fallback Foods (2007, background): “…primates with correspondingly long digestive systems are generally better able to process low-quality foods than small-bodied primates are (Hemingway and Bynum 2005; Janson and Chapman 1999; Kay 1984; but body size does not fully explain all variation: Conklin-Brittain et al. 1998;…”
Small folivorous primate groups exhibit behavioral and physiological effects of food scarcity (2010, background): “…we predict that one or more of the following behavioral modifications will occur as the availability of top food items declines (reviewed in Hemingway and Bynum 2005): 1) daily path length will increase, after controlling for other factors that can greatly influence daily travel; 2) the…”
