Demography of alpine red squirrel populations in relation to fluctuations in seed crop size (2008, background): “Other hypotheses predict how variation in spatiotemporal abundance and predictability of food resources determine spacing behaviour and degree of territoriality in vertebrates (Carpenter and MacMillen 1976, Maher and Lott 2000, McLoughlin et al. 2000).”
The interrelationships between resource-holding potential, resource-value and reproductive success in territorial males: How much variation can we explain? (2008, background): “…value and male reproductive success in resource-defence animals (e.g. Baker 1983; Fitzpatrick and Wellington 1983; Thornhill and Alcock 1983; Maher and Lott 2000), that approach does not measure the magnitude of the effect size nor does it give any indication as to the sources of variation…”
Spatial organization and food habits of jaguars (Panthera onca) in a floodplain forest (2007, background): “Territorial behavior is observed through the exclusion of conspecifics from areas containing key resources, and the defense of such areas through various behaviors including agonistic interactions (Maher and Lott, 2000).”
Investment in territorial defence depends on rearing environment in brown trout (Salmo trutta) (2003, background): “Because intruder rate and resource density may change over time, animals are expected to be flexible in their territorial behaviour, and this has been demonstrated in a number of studies (reviewed in Maher and Lott 2000).”
Intraspecific Variation in Home Range Overlap with Habitat Quality: A Comparison among Brown Bear Populations (2004, methodology): “A similar model was recently proposed by Maher and Lott (2000).”
Optimal group size, dispersal decisions and postdispersal relationships in female African lions (2009, neutral): “Increasing habitat quality usually decreases territorial overlap (Davies & Hartley 1996; Mazerolle & Hobson 2004), except when the costs of defending a territory are greater than the benefits gained by excluding others (Maher & Lott 2000; McLoughlin et al. 2001).”
Did Neanderthals and other early humans sing? Seeking the biological roots of music in the territorial advertisements of primates, lions, hyenas, and wolves (2009, background): “ Maher and Lott (2000) reviewed a large number of studies exploring the ecological determinants of territoriality among vertebrates, restricting their review to studies of withinspecies variation in territorial behavior.”
