Socioecological influences on the reproductive success of female mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) (2007, background): “…of net energy intake and reproductive success have shown that these four types of feeding competition can occur in a variety of combinations such as WGS combined with WGC and/or BGC (Sterck et al. 1997; Packer et al. 2000; Koenig 2000, 2002; Altmann and Alberts 2003; Schülke 2003; Izar 2004).”
Between-group contest competition for food in a highly folivorous population of black and white colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza) (2006, background): “…important effects on female social relationships and female reproductive success in primates (Wrangham 1980; van Schaik 1989; Isbell 1991; Sterck et al. 1997; Koenig 2002), but it has not been the focus of many studies (Koenig 2002; but see Janson 1988; Robinson 1988; Schülke 2003 for reviews).”
Advances in our understanding of mammalian sex‐biased dispersal (2007, background): “1997), whereas male forked-marked lemurs wait 3 years after puberty before dispersing (Schülke 2003).”
Comparative Feeding Ecology of Sympatric Microcebus berthae and M. murinus (2008, background): “Three cheirogaleid genera exhibit different feeding specializations: Phaner is mainly gummivorous (Hladik et al. 1980; Schülke 2003), Cheirogaleus and some rain forest Microcebus are mainly frugivorous (Fietz and Ganzhorn 1999; Lahann 2007), and Mirza are mainly faunivorous (Hladik et al.”
