A theory of human life history evolution: Diet, intelligence, and longevity (2000, background): “88–90 This selectivity requires the allocation of increased brain tissue to visual processing.”
How wild bearded capuchin monkeys select stones and nuts to minimize the number of strikes per nut cracked (2010, methodology): “From an optimization perspective (Stephens & Krebs 1986; Altmann 1998), using a tool in foraging provides a benefit when using the tool returns more energy gained and/or less time lost or risk incurred than some other foraging activity that could be conducted at the same time.”
Influence of Plant and Soil Chemistry on Food Selection, Ranging Patterns, and Biomass of Colobus guereza in Kakamega Forest, Kenya (2007, unknown): “The strong selective pressure on primate food choice suggests that patterns of food selection observed during studies of wild primates are adaptive and can provide important insights into primate evolutionary ecology (Altmann, 1998; Milton, 1993).”
Skeletal and dental growth and development in chimpanzees of the Taï National Park, Côte D'Ivoire (2007, background): “Energy allocation for motor activity has been vastly underestimated for juveniles (Altmann, 1998).”
Morphometric analysis of growth and development in wild‐collected vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), with implications for growth patterns in Old World monkeys, apes and humans (2006, background): “... for the field researcher to understand the fundamentals of growth and development for several reasons: to assess basic demographic variables like group composition and age at reproductive maturity; to establish age-cohorts; to follow changes in individuals as they mature; to examine the influenc”
Bearded capuchin monkeys' and a human's efficiency at cracking palm nuts with stone tools: field experiments (2010, background): “The broad framework of optimal foraging theory (Stephens & Krebs 1986; Altmann 1998), variations of which conceptualize costs of behaviour in different currencies (e.g. time, risk of predation or injury, energy), can be used to model the occurrence of tool use, as well as other behaviours, from a…”
Integrating function and ecology in studies of adaptation: Investigations of locomotor capacity as a model system (2001, background): “…tend to spend relatively more on locomotor costs, and lizards spend more than mammals (Goszczynski 1986, Kenagy & Hoyt 1989, Baudinette 1991, Karasov 1992, Christian et al. 1997, Altmann 1998, Gorman et al. 1998, Drent et al. 1999, Steudel 2000, Girard 2001, T. Garland, unpublished observations).”
