Activity and Ranging Patterns of Colobus angolensis ruwenzorii in Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda: Possible Costs of Large Group Size (2007, background): “…that social factors such as infanticide risk may limit group size for some populations (Chapman and Pavelka, 2005; Crockett and Janson, 2000; Steenbeek and van Schaik, 2001), while food competition may limit group size for others (Fashing, 2001; Gillespie and Chapman, 2001; Teichroeb et al., 2003).”
Effects of logging on gastrointestinal parasite infections and infection risk in African primates (2005, background): “Red colobus are folivorous primates that display a multimale‐multifemale social structure and live in groups of 20 to more than 100 (Struhsaker 1975; Gillespie & Chapman 2001 ).”
Socioecological adaptations by chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, inhabiting an anthropogenically impacted habitat (2012, background): “…group often split into smaller subgroups, large subgroups form to exploit abundant food patches and divide when fruits are scarce, thus reducing the need to travel large distances in search of food (Bradbury & Vehrencamp 1976; Chapman et al. 1995; Janson & Goldsmith 1995; Gillespie & Chapman 2001).”
Social influences on ranging patterns among chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in the Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire (2003, background): “In a recent paper on the generality of the ecological-constraints model, Gillespie and Chapman (2001) emphasized that the model predicts a strong relationship among group size, ranging patterns, and food availability but not necessarily between any two variables alone.”
Competition for Resources and Its Behavioral Consequences Among Female Primates (2002, background): “Recent studies demonstrated an increase of day range among folivorous primates as well (Gillespie and Chapman, 2001; Steenbeek and van Schaik, 2000).”
Ranging behavior of the mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda: a test of the ecological constraints model (2005, methodology): “In particular, the distribution, density, size, and quality of food resources within a primate groups’ range likely plays a stronger role (Chapman 1988; Isbell 1991; Chapman et al. 1995; Isbell et al. 1998; Chapman and Chapman 2000b; Gillespie and Chapman 2001).”
Socioecological influences on the reproductive success of female mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) (2007, background): “Larger group sizes have not consistently led to greater travel for primates, especially among folivores, although such studies generally have not accounted for potential variations in food availability (Janson and Goldsmith 1995; Gillespie and Chapman 2001; Ganas and Robbins 2005).”
Population Declines of Colobus in Western Uganda and Conservation Value of Forest Fragments (2007, unknown): “8%), which represents a nearly complete inventory of all major potential colobus food sources because colobus rarely feed in small trees (Gillespie and Chapman 2001).”
Towards an ecological solution to the folivore paradox: patch depletion as an indicator of within-group scramble competition in red colobus monkeys (Piliocolobus tephrosceles) (2005, result): “Despite earlier findings to the contrary, Gillespie and Chapman (2001) found that a large group of red colobus had longer day ranges than a small group, and day range increased even further in the large group when food availability decreased.”
