Ranging behavior of the mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda: a test of the ecological constraints model (2005, background): “If a growing group is unable to increase travel distance to feed its additional members, food intake per individual may decline, which may lead to lower reproductive success (Dunbar 1988; Janson and van Schaik 1988; van Schaik 1989; Isbell 1991; Janson 1992; Janson and Goldsmith 1995; Sterck et al. ”
Grouping Patterns and Competition Among Female Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, positive): “The socioecological model for primate female social relationships predicts that food distribution influences the grouping patterns and competitive regimes of female primates, which in turn mold the nature of their social relationships (Koenig 2002; Sterck et al. 1997; van Schaik 1989).”
Socioecological influences on the reproductive success of female mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) (2007, background): “Mountain gorillas have been cited as a species with WGS (Sterck et al. 1997; Koenig 2002).”
Intragroup aggression, fission–fusion dynamics and feeding competition in spider monkeys (2008, background): “Since female reproductive success is more strongly constrained by access to food sources (Trivers, 1972; Emlen & Oring, 1977; Wrangham, 1987; Clutton-Brock, 1991; Koenig, 2002), feeding competition has more severe consequences in females than in males and is generally predicted to result in female-f”
Long-term dominance relationships in female mountain gorillas: strength, stability and determinants of rank (2005, background): “While citing similar concerns about linearity measures, Isbell & Young (2002) proposed three other indicators of strong dominance relationships: a high rate of dominance interactions (cf. Sterck, 1999; Koenig, 2002), a low (<5”
Food Competition and Linear Dominance Hierarchy Among Female Chimpanzees of the Taï National Park (2003, positive): “The socio-ecological model predicts that food distribution and predation risk shape the competitive regime and therefore the relationships formed among females of diurnal primate species (Koenig, 2002; Sterck et al., 1997; van Schaik, 1989).”
Fissioning minimizes ranging costs in spider monkeys: a multiple-level approach (2009, positive): “…better prevention of infanticide, and increased food detection), intragroup feeding competition is probably the most significant cost (Alexander 1974; Clutton-Brock and Harvey 1977; Terborgh and Janson 1986; van Schaik and van Hooff 1983; Dunbar 1988; Janson and Goldsmith 1995; Koenig 2002).”
Between-group contest competition for food in a highly folivorous population of black and white colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) (2006, background): “One other problem with the predictions authors (Wrangham 1980; Janson and van Schaik 1988; van Schaik 1989; Koenig 2000, 2002) have made in relation to BGC competition is the assumption that its effects are group-size dependent.”
Costs and benefits of group living in primates: group size effects on behaviour and demography (2008, background): “Primate socioecological models consider group size to be an important factor modulating behaviour and individual fitness (Wrangham 1980; van Schaik 1983; Janson & Goldsmith 1995; Sterck et al. 1997; Koenig 2002 ).”
Social dynamics among females and their influence on social structure in an East African chimpanzee community (2013, neutral): “Social structure is often shaped in large part by kinship and dominance relationships among group members (reviewed in Koenig 2002).”
Small folivorous primate groups exhibit behavioral and physiological effects of food scarcity (2010, background): “…must compensate behaviorally (e.g., traveling longer distances per day to find food and/or increasing group spread during feeding) and/or physiologically (e.g., by having reduced energy available for somatic maintenance and/or reproduction) (reviewed in Koenig 2002 and in Snaith and Chapman 2007).”
Rank differences in energy intake rates in white-faced capuchin monkeys, Cebus capucinus: the effects of contest competition (2005, background): “When within-group-contest (WGC) is the predominant competitive regime, high-ranking females are predicted to have higher total energy gain and reproductive success relative to low-ranking females (Sterck et al. 1997; Koenig 2002).”
Core area quality is associated with variance in reproductive success among female chimpanzees at Kibale National Park (2007, positive): “00/0 2006 The Association for the commonly associated with femaleefemale aggression and philopatry, and are maintained by alliances among female kin (Wrangham 1980; Koenig 2002).”
Female Competition over Core Areas in Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, Kibale National Park, Uganda (2008, positive): “Among primates that depend on monopolizable resources, frequent intragroup conflicts over food likely select for well-defined female dominance relationships, often with stable, linear hierarchies (Koenig 2002; Sterck et al. 1997; van Schaik 1989).”
Female–female aggression around mating: an extra cost of sociality in a multimale primate society (2011, background): “…resource for baboons, and female social relationships primarily arise from the causes and consequences of feeding competition (Sterck et al. 1997; Koenig 2002), why should mating competition play a more important role than energetic needs in patterns of female–female aggression? and 2) why…”
To breed or not to breed—food competition and other factors involved in female breeding decisions in the pair-living nocturnal fork-marked lemur (Phaner furcifer) (2003, background): “Small, fast-depleting patches facilitate WGS, because animals cannot avoid searching for food in a patch that was just depleted by another group member (Koenig 2002).”
