• Himalayan Semnopithecus entellus at Langtang National Park, Nepal: Diet, Activity Patterns, and Resources (2008, background): “Researchers expect folivorous primates to exhibit shorter daily path lengths and smaller home ranges than those of frugivorous primates (Clutton-Brock and Harvey 1980), with rest-dominated, energy-minimizing, activity budgets (Oates 1987).”
• Evolutionary Consequences of Fallback Foods (2007, background): “Highly dispersed foods supposedly promote the cognitive abilities of primates, resulting in enhanced cognitive abilities in primates whose food resources exhibit a higher degree of patchiness (Clutton-Brock and Harvey 1980; Milton 1988).”
• Food stealing in birds: brain or brawn? (2007, background): “…speed (Gossette 1968; Riddell & Corl 1977), group size and/or social complexity (Barton 1996; Burish et al. 2004; Shultz & Dunbar 2006), frugivory (Clutton-Brock & Harvey 1980), capture of mobile prey (Garamszegi et al. 2002), innovation frequency (Lefebvre et al. 1997; Reader & Laland 2002) and…”
